Upgrading from 009 to 050 with Pertronix
Bob Anderson bought an 050 distributor with a Pertronix electronic
points installed. Here is Bob and Brian Mendel installing it. Here is
Bob's comment after he got home:
As I said thanks Brian and Dave for helping me install the 050
Distributor with the Pertronix in my 67 912. You were right, in every
gear the car just wants to keep revving.
With the 009 first gear wound up and ran out of RPM's very
quickly. Sort of reminded me of my old MGA. I never understood when
other 912'ers were talking about red-lining because I could never come
close with the 009.
Now I have three things that I would recommend to someone buying a
912. 1. Brakes, 2. New H4 Lights and now 3. 050 Distributor with
Pertronix.
In a way it was probably better that we had the 009 when my son was
driving the car because I doubt if he would have gone very long before
picking up a ticket. My son was here for Christmas and liked the new
carpets. Now I am anxious for him to drive it when he returns from the
UK in May so he can see the improvement in performance.
Thanks Again. Bob Anderson
