OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Pertronix Second Strike Digital Ignition Box (CDI: Capacitive Discharge Ignition) With Adjustable Rev Limiter, Model 500

Pertronix Second Strike Digital Ignition Box (CDI: Capacitive Discharge Ignition) With Adjustable Rev Limiter, Model 500
 
Pertronix Second Strike Digital Ignition Box (CDI: Capacitive Discharge Ignition) With Adjustable Rev Limiter, Model 500 provides a reliable multi spark to catch those occasional cylinder misfires. Fully adjustable rev limiter protects your engine too!

This is compatible with points, and all points replacement devices.

Rev Limiting Rotors work, but are non-adjustable and are not cheap (You have to buy another one every time you buy a new rotor (Cha-CHING!)!


The Rev Limiter function takes out individual ignition strikes a little at a time to safely prevent dangerous over-revving, and to prevent plug fouling. It's easily and quickly adjustable in increments of 100 RPM. Excellent Unit!

This digital micro-controller based unit provides a much greater accuracy (+/-0.01%) over analog systems. There is no need for old resistor style pills or chips, our easy to use rotary switches adjust the RPM limit to an ultra fine resolution of 100 RPMs. Random spark stealing method provides superior control of rev limits and a rapid response time to over rev limit events, preventing engine failure.

Once the established RPM limit is reached, random spark stealing starts within one spark, reducing plug fouling common with repetitive stealing type limiters. Rev limiters come with multiple analog filters and one digital filter to prevent coil noise interference from affecting the established rev limit.

A lot of CDI's are "overkill" and simply provide what we feel is "too much" spark energy, but this unit gives a nice boost in ignition power without being stupid.
