Re: 24V tap from ignition switch?

This may be a better choice for a fuel pump, and may work without a pressure regulator. Only the 12 volt version is available.

Re: 24V tap from ignition switch?

I installed a Facet 24 volt fuel pump in June 0f 2015 along with a Holley fuel pressure regulator. The pressure was set at 3.5 PSI, which may be too high.
I made the electrical tap at the fuel solenoids, which is not recommended by most mechanics. The location of the pump is right where the ...

Re: Petronix v original

Pertronix and SAV sell electronic points, not an ignition module with a complete system. There is a big difference in performance. The conversion kit has a troublesome reputation and utilizes the OEM Bosche distributor.

Re: Petronix v original

Pertronix doesn't make anything 24 volts. You can buy the PinzTronix ingition that does work with 24 volts and is modified to fit perfectly into the Pinzgauer engine. The results are great, your Pinz will run much better.

Re: PinzSSI REDUX

2 left. Parts and support are available, but the system is so easy to install that a caveman could do it.
More units are under assembly.

Re: PinzSSI REDUX

PinzTronix is now available and is every bit as good as the PinzSSI in terms of performance, and priced about $140 less. Parts are available but should rarely, if ever, be needed as long as the proper voltage and a good ground is provided. These are the 2 main failure points, per Pertronix. Dust ...

Re: Pinztronix now available online

I agree with Ron that the optical trigger should be more accurate, but there's also the argument that a Hall Effect is just as good. I'm not taking sides on this debate.
Dust could be a problem with the optical lens on the PinzSSI, that was a flaw. Using a DC filter may have also prevented dirty ...

Re: Pinztronix now available online

I removed the PinzSSI to see how this ignition would work, and pulled my Pinz off the market the same day, the difference was that significant. My old PinzSSI 4.2 works perfectly and includes a filter, and has maybe 100KM on it at most.
Adapting a Pertronix distributor to the Pinzgauer was the main ...

Re: Engine wear -- lubrication and temperature

You can have the oil in your Pinzgauer analyzed at Blackstone Laboratories, Google it. For $40 they will give you a complete breakdown of all the chemicals and metals in the oil, which is an indication of wear.
