Paying Dollar prices for PerTronix kit

Just thought I'd let you know about this one..

I suggested RetroRockets in Connecticut for buying Pertronix stuff a while ago. You order from the US site and pay the US dollar prices, plus a bit of shipping, but the kit is delivered from a UK warehouse.

So .. I recently put my money where my mouth was and gave them a try. A Pertronix Ignitor for Rover V8, plus a resin filled Flamethrower coil came to just over £70 all in. Equivalent UK pricing would be a little over £135.

There was a few weeks wait while my ignitor unit came back into stock, but overall I'm happy.

Carl Dudash at RetroRockets was helpful and ID'd the ignitor I needed from a digital pic of my dissy baseplate.

You will find that Aldon Automotive sell Pertronix stuff packed in plain white boxes but with a hefty mark up.

I bought a Pertronix Ignitor plus Flamethrower coil a few years ago for my inline six Rover P4 110 and it has totally transformed it.
