Pertronix Ignitor III Installation.

[cv300g]

I am converting my 62 Chrysler 300 Convertible, with a 413, to Pertronix Electronic Ignition.
Its their kit number 71381A.
Has anyone installed this in their Mopar? The instructions are not clear as to where to attach the Braided Bare Ground Wire.

I photo of your installation would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Charlie

Why did you go with the III? Just curious. I run Pertronix I in both my cars without issue; simple installation too.

The Pertronix I put in my 53 didn't have that ground wire.

Perhaps you could put a longer screw in the vacuum advance bracket so it poked through to the inside and then put a nut and lock washer on it.

I'll zap a pic of Mine. I ran he 3 for a while but had to switch to the 1 for my efi setup. The 3 ran great though.

I would call the III overkill for your application. I've read a lot on the forums about issues with the II and III. I have run the basic unit on my Imperial for close to 20K miles without an issue and wouldn't change it. I was running it on one of my other cars and changed over to Chrysler electronic ignition and actually regret making that change.

I also run a Pertronix I unit. I installed it almost 10 years ago and it has never missed a beat. In fact, until someone asks about them I forget it is in there. It is something I never have to worry about and I like that.

Maybe this will help you. The comments should be in English.

(Link is in German) Several YouTube videos on installing the Ignitor III system. It has many neat features, especially the multi-strike all the way up, rather than just to 3000rpm. Plus the rev limiter. A pretty nice item, it appears, but the base Ignitor I system is good, too. The "box" has power and ground wires itself Not sure why a "case ground" would be needed? There might be some better instructions on the Pertronix website. Let us know of your progress.
