Hello everyone, I am considering the install of the basic pertronix unit, but wanted to ask if its required to remove the distributor from the engine to add the spacer above the gear at the bottom of the shaft? If yes why does this have to be done?

I never had any issues with the car starting with the II. As soon as I installed the Edelbrock 1411 way back, I never had an issue with starting. With the III , it just seemed to have more overall power when I really gunned the throttle. When I went from the II to the III I also rejetted the Edelbrock to take advantage of the additional slight mods I had done to the intake. I just remember when going from the II to the III and taking it out on the highway and punching the throttle it was even more responsive.
You can see the difference at the Pertronix site- www.pertronix.com
Here are direct links descriptions for the Ignitor I, II, and III and a comparison chart below which is on page 3 of their downloadable PDF catalog.

I started with an Ignitor II probably 10 years back then went with the III this past May when I rebuilt my engine and was very pleased with both. The III seemed to give an even better spark than the II. After the rebuilt I went ahead and ran the II for a while then upgraded to the III. For my upgrade from the II to the III series I installed the 71181 Ignitor III electronic Ignition and the 44011 Flame Thrower III ignition coil.
For the III the distributor does not come out. For the II it does. Quite different design between the two.

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
