The Pertronix 1183P6 Ignitor is a points-to-electronic ignition conversion kit for early Delco 8-cylinder distributors on 6-volt positive-ground systems. Rotating cobalt magnets trigger a Hall Effect circuit with no points to burn and no moving parts to wear, all sealed in an epoxy-molded module that protects against dirt, oil, and moisture. It keeps the stock distributor appearance for restorations, is designed to run with a 0.6 ohm coil, and is 50-state legal under CARB E.O. #D-57-22.
