PERTRONIX IGNITOR
P/N 1185LS
For
over thirty years, the Ignitor has proven itself in applications
ranging from race cars to tractors. The Ignitor replaces breaker point
and troublesome factory electronic ignitions with a dependable, self
contained and maintenance free electronic ignition system. The Ignitor
has been called the "stealth" ignition because of its quick
installation and nearly undetectable presence under your distributor
cap.

12-volt, negative ground Pertronix (lobe sensing) Ignitor for 1938-1956
Buick models with an 8-cylinder engine using a Delco distributor with
