I was the ad agency for Per-Lux that acquired the Ignitor electronic ignition system at least forty years ago. This unit was originally designed for stationary engines running 24/7, refrigeration units and fork lifts. I've used them in sail boat engines, classic Chris-Crafts, hot rods and collector cars, including five Model A's. The only failure I've experienced was 23 years ago when I did not properly ground a unit on an A speedster. If you use the proper coil, you will experience a hotter spark. Mickey Remund (Mickey Thompson's engine builder) perfected the Petronix for Model A's and early Ford V-8's before retiring and selling the program to F&S. Two things cause these units to fail; 1: improper grounding and 2: leaving the ignition on. The point (pun intended) of this post is to assure owners that electronic ignitions aren't all bad.
