Accufire electronic ignition?

[ungermm]

I'm pricing an electronic ignition upgrade for my stock points and came across this when I google searched for Pertronix. It's only $42.95 (doesn't include shipping unless I spend $50). I can't find any reference to Accufire in our forums. Will this work for a 70 GT with stock coil? Has anyone got one of these and can make a recommendation or should I go with the Pertronix? And, my best price shopping is $63 (includes shipping) on a Pertronix 1847. Anyone know of a better price? Thanks, Jerry

Oh yeah, that answers my questions. I'm still shopping for the best price on the Pertronix though. Thanks, Jerry

Who's Jerry??

[ungermm]

Jerry is my first name. The kids refer to me as the drunk monkey though. When I feel like I've accomplished something, I pump up to UngerDog.

If you can wait till the middle of November, Bugstuff (1-800-752-2847) in PA usually has their Thanksgiving Sale on the 1847V, which I've found to be the cheapest in the past . . . bought all of mine there except my very first one in '78 direct from Perlux (now Pertronix).

Otto, the 1847V from Pertronix, is it "plug & play"? or is there other stuff needed as well??

Call them and ask if they will ship to you, then order on a credit card.

Ya, I can wait a month to save a few $$. Points are fine for now. After all, it took me 20 years to get it out of my backyard (I am a real backyard mechanic) and onto the street. Jerry
