Author Topic: Pertronix gap setting???? (Read 707 times)

Just checked my dwell and it is running at 24deg. My book says 29deg. Anyone know the gap setting for the Pertronix Electronic Ignition? Mine is now set at .021in. I can just start moving it in and out to get the setting, just wondering what is correct. And no I can not find my original install book. Pertronix site did not give me the setting either.

Thanks

The piece of plastic they send with a petronix is .03 and that is what they recommend setting the gap at.

I believe we set mine at about .028 though.

Correct. I always ran all mine at .030, back when I had the Pertronix in some of the cars.
