jeepboy_90 Postad 26 September , 2014 Rapport Share Postad 26 September , 2014 I am told that there are two types of Bosch distributors that were placed in the TGB's. I am trying to upgrade to Pertronix and need to know which one I have. Included is a picture of the distributor with the cap off. Any help would be great!

Halfsafe Postad 26 September , 2014 Rapport Share Postad 26 September , 2014 There is the normal type identified by normal type cap, spark plug and plug cables and the radio supressed type with special cap, spark plug and plug cables similar to the M-type vehicles. The Pertronix kit for the normal type is easily available (#2863N24). For the radio supressed type I dont know. This is an email I wrote to pertronix some years ago: Hello, I have a Volvo 1976 C303 with Bosch distributor # 0 231 305 058. Itsa 24 volt system.Will the 2863N24 work for this distributor? And can any of your flamethrowercoils be used together with the Ignitor on a 24 volt system? Thanks inadvance.------------Yes, the 2863N24 will work in your distributor. Use coil #40511 and a 3.0ohm ballast resistor.Carl AlcocerPertonix Inc.909-273-6007 And yes, it did work.Hope this helps. Edit: Link to old thread.

jeepboy_90 Postad 27 September , 2014 Författare Rapport Share Postad 27 September , 2014 Halfsafe - Thank you, I believe I have the standard one. Where did you pickup the 3.0 ohm ballast resistor? Citera Länk till kommentar Dela på andra webbplatser More sharing options...
Halfsafe Postad 27 September , 2014 Rapport Share Postad 27 September , 2014 Most likely you already have it. Not the best pic but look for this box mounted up in the corner above your distributor. Its about 3ohm and should work with the Petronix the way its already wired, bypassing the resistor only when the started is engaged.

jeepboy_90 Postad 5 Oktober , 2014 Författare Rapport Share Postad 5 Oktober , 2014 Halfsafe, thanks for the help. I installed the coil and Pertronix, took all of 30 minutes. Just want to make sure that you hooked the red to the positive and black to the ground on the coil from the pertronix module. That still allows the resistor to work properly? I took it out for a test drive and what a difference! Thanks again. 3 Citera Länk till kommentar Dela på andra webbplatser More sharing options...
