I have one in my 2A and also one in a Ford tractor. They both run great and are very happy with it.

Brian,

Do a search on Pertronix Ignition both here and on the G503 site. Tons of posts about this unit. Just be sure you are getting one for the right reasons. It is not a performance enhancer. It is simply a magnetic sensor replacement for the mechanical points and reduces the maintenance frequency on the ignition system. If you have a poor performing ignition system because of a weak coil, bad condenser, worn distributor shaft bushings or malfunctioning advance weights you will still need to fix those items.
