I'm planning to put a Pertronix ingnition (original style) in my 73 Javelin 304. I have read the instructions and am aware that the unit needs a full 12 volts. Where have other folks obtained the 12 volt source?
I put a Pertronix these in a '71 Ambassador and just ran a wire from the fuse panel, from the ignition circuit. Works with no problems.
Another approach is to keep the points, but just use them as a trigger for an electronic switching circuit. This eliminates the condensor, and the points last a long time since they only carry a small amount of current. A kit of this type can be found at:
