    I have a IAY4012 Autolite distributor in my 60 CJ3B. Pertronix says they don't have a kit for that distributor. Anyone have that number and use a Pertronix?

    I've used Pertronix since they started, and I'm still not impressed with their durability...
    Trigger is OK, but the built in module simply isn't all that reliable, and warranty takes forever from Pertronix.

    Have you considered swtiching your distributor over to electronic yourself?
    It's fairly easy for anyone with moderate skills...

    I usually use Chrysler triggers... Reluctor & Stator.
    Runs about $15, but will take you some time to fit the reluctor over the breaker points cam on the distributor shaft...
    (Time and a Dremel tool!)

    I know this isn't your distributor, but you will get the idea of how to do it from this page...

    This trigger conversion will work with virtually any Factory or aftermarket electronic ignition module... Giving you some REAL possibilities!
