I see there are a couple of options with the Holley dist. With gold box for the 345 v8. What are the differences between the pertronix I,II, and iii and which one would you recommend? ...and yes, definitely gonna sell me some things lol! Gotta shopping list with new iss pro gauges, fuel filler hoses, CPT gas caps and other misc. Items
From what I understand the II and iii are less prone to burning up if the key gets left on. But overall here are the differences between the three.
ignitor I
- delivers twice the voltage to the spark plugs, increasing horsepower, fuel economy, and spark plug life.
- 2:1 improvement over points in current fall time for increased coil output.
- rotating cobalt magnets trigger a hall effect integrated circuit . ...no points to burn, ...no moving parts to wear out.
- epoxy molding makes our module impervious to dirt, oil, grease and moisture.
- fits entirely inside the distributor.
- no "black box to clutter the engine compartment.
- stable timing ...no need for any adjustments.
- will trigger most multi-spark cd ignitions.
- use with flame-thrower® 40,000 volt coil for optimal performance.
- available for 6 and 12-volt negative and positive ground systems.
- legal in all 50 states and canada (c.a.r.b. E.o. #d-57-2).
- guaranteed for 30 months... We stand behind it!
ignitor II
- adaptive dwell maintains peak energy throughout the entire rpm range, reducing misfires while improving engine performance.
- develops on average 4 times more available energy between 3000 and 5000 rpm, and 2 times more available plug voltage.
- peak current level is reached just prior to spark for maximum energy without the heat build-up, increasing coil and module life.
- adjusts spark timing at higher rpms to compensate for the inherent electronic delay.
- senses startup and develops more energy for quicker, easier starting. Built in reverse polarity and over current protection shuts down the system, preventing component damage.

- guaranteed for 30 months
ignitor iii
- adaptive dwell maintains peak energy throughout the entire rpm range, reducing misfires while improving engine performance
- peak current level is reached just prior to spark for maximum energy without the heat build-up, increasing coil performance and module reliability
- adjusts spark timing at higher rpms to compensate for the inherent electronic delay
- senses startup and develops more energy for quicker, easier starting
- senses crank orientation from either the distributor cam lobe or a pertronix magnet sleeve
- thermal clad surface mount construction for high performance reliability
- memory safe function for user settings
- led user feedback for rev limit confirmation
- built-in reverse polarity and over current protection shuts down the system, preventing component damage
- legal in all 50 states and canada (c.a.r.b. E.o. #d-57-8)
