Pertronix II?
Any reason that the Pertronix II would not be good for an A4? It seems to have some advantages over the original. Might be a good thing for MM to sell - hint

After reading the Ignitor II™ ad copy and installation instructions it appears they addressed the current issue with variable dwell. That's very interesting, a true 'one size fits all' solution to a wide range of applied voltages. We manipulated the current the only way we could, by adjusting the resistance and it meant different alternator outputs (voltages) and different engine wiring conditions (voltage drops) resulted in different recommended resistor values.
Some thoughts:

I might try it. I have points now.
That said, I doubt I would try the 0.6 ohm coil. I also noted that Summit Racing sells a Pertronix "tractor coil" for low RPM tractors and industrial engines. This sounds like A4 material too. For the Indigo fans.. Crane Cams likewise has a higher model EI box that does more than the original. Another hint MM vs Indigo verison 2.0 EI Also now we have the "Industrial and Agricultural Coil" http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pnx-28010/overview/ Quote:

Understood but you may be limiting the variable dwell function of the EI. I'd think to give it a fair try it ought to have the recommended coil as well.
But I truly understand. We tried their recommendations the last time down this path with disastrous results finally choosing to ignore them and blaze our own trail. If you give it a try, please keep us in the loop re: your communications with Pertronix tech help. It was quite entertaining before. Keep the temp gun handy . . .
