Today I got out that old Atomic Four that I got about two years ago. The guy said "take it out and it is yours". So I did, and it is.
I was in the process of making a little bench dedicated to rebuilding the engine. Or at least taking it apart. Then I was thinking, as I do on occasion, "why not see if it runs?"
That is what I did. I was checking the engine out putting stuff back on, like the starter and coil. Then I figured I might as well check the points. Off goes the cap and ......what the hell is that thing under there? Looks like electronic ignition? There it is!! Looks like I have a pertronix EI.
I have included a couple of pictures. Can any one tell me if this is what Don sells. What do I need to know? Can anyone give me a copy of the info that comes with it? I figured out how it worked and got the engine running, so it works. Pretty simple.
The numbers on the rotor are:
11463A 1173A 11453A
the pick up has a sticker on top that says:
40AB-V4
there is a sticker on the side of the pick up (square thing) that reads:
ignitor by pertronix
CARB E. O. D-572
BTW I will write another post about running the engine....
Looks like I cant avoid electronic ignition any more.....
