Pertronix D200800 Flame-Thrower Black Cap Plug and Play Marine Billet Electronic Distributor with Ignitor II Technology with Black Cap for Chevrolet Small Block/Big Block

Back in the day I have installed 100s of pertronix products all with fantastic results and expected reliability. Later on the old Mallory I had in this particular installation just wasn't working anymore, it was time to see what was new (to me) in the pertronix catalog - this item @ the price @ the time was and is a perfect match, pulled the Mallory out, installed this one and giddy up. check / set base timing and never look back. Easy Peasy.

Replaced old Mallory unit. New Pertronix distributor dropped right in and fired right up.Adjusted timing on 5.7 to 8 degrees initial and 32 total and engine starts up much better.Took boat for test drive and has been working great. Also got rid of that problematicresistor. Full 12 volts going to dist. and coil.Would recommend this product.

Very easy installation for a moderately experienced diyer. I struggled with timing and ignition issues for two full summers before buying this and boy do I wish I would have just started with this! Installed this spring and I've taken the boat on a week long trip with a lot of long cruises plus about 3-4 afternoon outings since then and it works perfectly. Love it.

For the price and the quality this distributor cant be beat. Running this one on my boat and I have a Pertronix on my old Jeep too. Noticeable difference in start up and performance.

Great replacement for the out of date and defunct ignition for my Mercruiser, that's if it came with all the parts. I need to lockout the timing and the bushing was missing from my parts package. It was factory sealed. I've been trying to get a replacement from the manifacturer for months. They either tell me I don't need it (don't tell me what I I need) or it's promised in the mail and doesn't show. One excuse after another. Not enough help, can't get parts, phone ringing off the wall...blah, blah, blah. Well my boating season is shot.

Well made, the mechanical advance works smooth and proper.

DON’T BUY THIS THROUGH AMAZON IF YOU EXPECT AN EASY WARRANTY PROCESS! Warranty is a pain to deal with.Old distributor needed replaced. Bought this one, installed easy but soon as I run it it begins to leak oil from the small air vent under the cap. Leaks a lot, bottom of boat is all oily now.Old distributor did not leak oil. I checked the engine vacuum, it’s good. Waiting for a call back from Pertronix on warranty, I’m hopeful for a positive outcome.Edit #1: I got in contact with Pertronix. Apparently Amazon has to honor the warranty due to the way they are purchased/handled. Trying to work with Amazon as it's been more than 30 days. Says it has 1yr warranty.Edit #2: Amazon will not honor warranty since it’s been more than 30 days. Only willing to offer partial refund of purchase price - 20% “restocking fee”. Just get me a replacement at this point. I don’t need money back and I don’t want to pay considering it has a warranty. Need to call manufacturer again.Edit #3: Pertronix sent me a new replacement, it is installed. So far so good.

Best deal out there for a replacement distributor. If your mechanically inclined and familiar with Small Block Chevy's, you'll have this installed in less than a half hour. That includes installing a new coil and timing the engine. Only has two wires to connect and its pretty straight forward. I replaced a factory electronic ignition on a Volvo Penta 570 (GM 5.7 V-8) with the Prestolite Distributor. The replacement electronic ignition module from Volvo was no longer available. I could have converted the prestolite distributor to a pertronix module, but didn't want throw good money at a dead horse so I decided to go with the complete new distributor for a little more money. Very glad I did. The boat has never ran better. Hope the distributor holds up this way, but for now very happy with it.

Fantastic replacements for my twin 454’s! Surprisingly, I didn’t even have to replace the cam gears. Drop them in, wire them up, set the timing and enjoyed my season!

Good product
