Pertronix 12v Ignitor 2 Replaces/Upgrades 'Points' on 009 Distributors
Quality Pertronix product. Replacing your points with this Pertronix 12v Ignitor 2 on your 009 distributor should save you money and improve the performance of your classic VW. The Pertronix Ignitor 2 provides an upgrade on regular points by delivering timing that is accurate to ¼ degree through the rev range. It requires no further maintenance and is simple to fit with an easy 2-wire hook up - no further wiring is necessary. Best of all, you can expect an overall reduction in fuel consumption of at least 15% compared with existing points. Brand new points will initially give similar performance to Ignitor, but points performance rapidly degrades due to mechanical wear and burning: ignitor does not degrade in this way, producing more power than points over time.
Additional benefits of Ignitor include: Develops up to 4 times more available energy between 3000 and 5000 rpm than a standard ignition system. Develops 2 times more available plug energy. Adaptive dwell maintains energy through rev range to reduce misfires and improved performance. Peak current is achieved just prior to spark, so ignition energy is sustained with less heat build up, which increases coil and module life. Adjusts spark timing across the rev range to compensate for inherent electronic delay, bringing more stable timing. Senses engine start up and increases dwell time to provide more energy for starting sparks.
