I bought a Pertronix Ignitor and Flamethrower coil from Sunbeam Specialties several years ago but didn't install it at the time since I had other engine issues. I fixed the other problems and since my SV is running, I decided to go ahead and install the Ignitor. It wouldn't fit, no matter what I did so I checked to see if I really had the correct unit. Turns out that I was given an 1821 unit which according to Pertronix is designed for a Mercury. I see from their catalog that the SV part number is LU-142A. The box from SS has an SS sticker on it, indicating that it's for a SV Alpine. Was this 1821 unit actually used on an Alpine at one time, or did I just get a completely incorrect unit from them?
