I ordered mine thru summit or jeggs. Amc was not listed but they do sell them...i asked why they dont list much amc stuff. Operator said if vendor makes amc version of any of there products we can get it, we just dont stock it.

Are all of the Igniter III Delco units compatible with the AMC now? Or do we still need to pay the premium of ordering directly from Pertronix?

When I installed the Igniter III in my 1969 SC/Rambler and my 1971 SC360, the tach in both cars needed to be replaced.
Haven't had any problems with either car after installing the Igniter III. The IgniterIII has been in the SC/R for 12 years with no problems.

So will the Igniter three work with the factory tachometer in a 69 AMX?

Bumping this up since it seems like there are a few installs of pertronix right now that people could use help with and reference this info.

Back there somewhere in this thread Tourquey typed about during PerTronix III development
that they had a 350 Chev on a Dyno with a full MSD set-up, did a baseline pull,
then removed all MSD stuff, PerTronix III installed, picked up 10 HP it says......

Just curious, but how does the Ignitor III compare to an MSD 6 or other CD style ignition. I would assume that the CD box has the cabability of providing much more spark energy which, if needed, would provide for a smoother idle, better accelleration, etc.
My car has a uniform compression of about 175-180 psi per cylinder, but nevertheless a few cylinders have oily plugs. I picked up an MSD 6 and MSD distributor a few years ago on EBAY assuming I would likely need the spark energy. Never had any problems with these MSD parts and the car runs fine. But, if I can get rid of the MSD box and wiring and run a Pertronix distributor with the Ignitor III with no loss of performance, I would be inclined to do it. Any thoughts?

Helping someone choose an ignition upgrade, always come back to this thread
and all the detailed information TourqueyAMX so graciously provided.
Thought while here I'd ad this picture showing AMC & Chevy Point Plate shape differences,
between AMC and Chevy the Points and Condensor are on opposite sides of the Point Plate.
