PerTronix Ignitor Points Conversion, Delco 8-Cylinder
The classic swap: two wires, about fifteen minutes, and no more points to gap. Invisible under the cap, which is why restorers use it.

Ditch the Points: Under-the-Cap Electronic Ignition for Delco-Distributor V8s
Breaker points wear, drift out of adjustment, and fail at the worst time. A PerTronix Ignitor replaces them with a solid-state module that hides under the original distributor cap, so the engine bay still looks factory. These picks are for GM V8s with a Delco points distributor; PerTronix makes versions for most other distributors, so match yours before you order.

PerTronix Flame-Thrower 40,000 V Coil, 1.5 Ohm
A 40,000 V, 1.5-ohm canister coil that matches the original Ignitor. If your coil is the one the car left the factory with, replace it at the same time.
