Attach positive (red) lead of your voltmeter to the positive side of the coil, and the negative (black) lead to an engine ground. Turn the ignition switch to the run position.

How does the pertronix ignitor II improve engine performance?

The Ignitor II senses current levels in the coil and adjusts the dwell to maintain peak energy throughout the entire RPM range. Dwell angle is increased or decreased with changing engine RPM and operating conditions. This provides more energy at high RPM, reducing misfires while improving engine performance

How does pertronix solid state ignition system work?

A solid-state electronic ignition system…”never change points again!” Test Results show the ignitor delivers twice the voltage to the spark plugs, increasing horsepower, fuel economy and plug life A 2:1 improvement over point type systems in current fall time for increased coil output

How do you turn off a pertronix ignition switch?

Attach positive (red) lead of your voltmeter to the positive side of the coil, and the negative (black) lead to an engine ground. Turn the ignition switch to the run position. Now read the voltage at the positive coil terminal. Turn the ignition switch off. If the voltage measured is approximately 12 volts, no resistance wire is present.

How many ignitor points does pertronix have?

Is the pertronix 6 volt positive ground a good product?

5.0 out of 5 stars Pertronix 6 volt positive ground. This ignitor was what was needed, I installed it and instead of an irrratic running tractor, it started right up and ran without any timing adjustments. Great product a no brainier if you have points and a condenser. Just throw them away. Be careful to be right on polarity.

How to turn off ignition on pertronix voltmeter?
