Pertronix ignition upgrade

[garm 0]

I've installed Pertronix in my other cars, and I liked the results.

Does anyone know if there is one (or which is the correct one) for my '67 1500 pre-crossflow?

 

thanks in advance

Wow those are expensive. Have you had a look at the alternatives?

Thanks, I'll take a look. The Accuspark page isn't very clear which one is correct. I'll inspect my distributor first.

Dont know if it is still the case, but Aldon's units were the Pertronix ones reboxed at a greatly inflated price. Pertronix is from the good ole US of A, but shipped to UK addresses from a warehouse in the UK, which as I recall co incidentally had the same postmark town as Aldon! This was about 15 years ago before the cheaper alternatives appeared on the scene. Things may have changed since.

 

I used an Accuspark unit more recently on my Mk1 Transit and had no issues whatsoever with that.

i had a look on Accuspark web site it looks like they do not do electronic ignition for Motorcraft distributor,

but will do a lucas distributor with electronic ign fitted for the prexflow for £64.95

Are you sure?? I can see several Motorcraft EI only kits including the mk2 Cortina.

I have a '67 Mk2 GT with a 1500 (Series 1).

 

So which of these from the Accuspark site is correct for me?

 

CORTINA 1500GT 1962-1966

CORTINA MKII 1300/1500/1600 1967-1970

someone going to help me out here? Or is this one of those closely guarded secrets... :playball:

[kenbex522 34]

Well I thought it was pretty obvious from here on in. Thats a Motorcraft/Fomoco distributor in your pic, so going back to the Accuspark list there is only one Motorcraft distributor listed for your model/year. What more help do you need? :thumbup:

I thought it would be too.

So when I clicked on the "obvious" one for 1967 (Cortina Mk2 1500), and add to basket it says "kit 21 Motorcraft for Cross Flow".

 

But it's not a crossflow.
