I have seen a few older posts here but I wanted to show my installation with a current part list and what it takes to retain the stock look.
The first step was to purchase the parts:
PerTronix Ignitor II® Solid-State Ignition Systems 91281
and because I wanted to keep the stock look I went with their unmarked stock wire kit:
PerTronix Flame-Thrower 7mm Stock Look Spark Plug Wire Sets 708105
You can also go to Advance Auto and get it there for even cheaper with their 20-40% off sales like I did!
So I bought the ignition system and wires and now have to check the wiring and colors to make sure it all works. I have read that you could leave the pink resistance wire in place but I am going to replace it from the ignition to the firewall.
Please correct me if I am not reading the wiring diagram correctly but I believe the resistance is in the pink wire and not after the connector in the red/green wire (brown to solenoid) going to the coil.
I had already replaced that wiring harness with a new one from Ecklers when I first bought the car. If your wires are not in good shape I would recommend this as the new wire harness is clean and looks great!
So now that I have listed the simple parts list I will move to the installation today and post the results this evening.
Here are detailed pictures of the wires prior to starting. We have a rain delay today so part two of the installation will be coming soon!
