3. Подешавање и инсталација

The 12470 module is a replacement component for an existing 1247 Ignitor Kit. Installation typically involves replacing the old module within the distributor. Always ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected before beginning any work on the ignition system.

  1. Безбедност на првом месту: Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal to prevent accidental electrical discharge.
  2. Access Distributor: Locate and open the distributor cap.
  3. Уклоните стари модул: Carefully disconnect and remove the existing 1247 Ignitor module from its mounting location within the distributor. Note the wiring connections before removal.
  4. Инсталирајте нови модул: Position the new 12470 module in the same location. Secure it using the original fasteners.
  5. Повежите ожичење: Reconnect the module's wiring according to the original configuration. Ensure all connections are clean and secure.
  6. Поново саставите: Replace the distributor cap and ensure it is properly seated.
  7. Поново повежите батерију: Поново повежите негативни терминал батерије.
  8. Тест: Start the engine and verify proper operation.

For detailed installation instructions specific to your vehicle and the original 1247 Ignitor Kit, refer to the complete manual provided with the full kit or consult a qualified automotive technician.

4. Принципи рада

The Pertronix 12470 module operates as a solid-state electronic switch, replacing the mechanical points in a distributor. It uses a magnetic trigger to sense engine rotation and precisely control the ignition coil's primary circuit. This results in a more consistent spark, improved engine performance, and reduced maintenance compared to traditional points systems.

The module's design ensures stable timing and high energy output across the engine's RPM range. It is designed to work seamlessly with the existing ignition coil, though optimal performance is often achieved with a compatible Pertronix Flame-Thrower coil.

5. Одржавање

The Pertronix 12470 module is a solid-state electronic component and requires no routine maintenance. Unlike mechanical points, it does not require periodic adjustment, lubrication, or replacement due to wear. Ensure that all electrical connections remain clean and secure to maintain optimal performance.

КСНУМКС. Решавање проблема

If you experience issues after installing the 12470 module, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • No Spark/Engine Cranks but Won't Start:
    • Проверите да ли су сви прикључци ожичења исправни и безбедни.
    • Проверите да ли постоји одговарајући обимtage supply to the module and coil.
    • Ensure the coil is compatible with the Ignitor system.
    • Inspect the module for any visible damage.
  • Intermittent Misfire:
    • Check for loose connections or corroded terminals.
    • Ensure the distributor shaft has no excessive play.
    • Verify the coil's resistance is within specifications.
  • Мотор лоше ради:
    • Confirm correct timing. While the Ignitor provides stable timing, initial timing setup is crucial.
    • Check other ignition components (spark plugs, wires, rotor, cap) for wear or damage.
