this  warranty  apply: if  the  equipment  has  been  subjected  to  accident,  misuse,  improper 
hookup, damaged by flood, fire, or act of God, or has been used on circuits or voltages other 
than those indicated in its instruction manual.  If the equipment is found to be defective in 
materials or workmanship the equipment will be returned and P. A. Ignition Co., Inc. will pay the

outside of the U.S.A. must include prepayment of return shipping.  Customs, duties or tariffs 
are  not  covered  by  this  warranty.  If  the  equipment  is  found  to  be  defective  but  is  due  to 
customer misuse (as described in warranty) P. A. Ignition Co., Inc. will notify the customer and if 
the customer wants the defective equipment returned P. A. Ignition Co., Inc. will return the

The Smart Points low current input  reduces wear and extends 
the life of ignition points eliminating pitting or arcing at the 
points. 

Automatic coil shutoff prevents damage to coil, points or 
electronic trigger units when the ignition key or switch is left on 
accidentally.

Exceptional low voltage operation of the Smart Points and coil 
means improved starting.

Static timing indicator for easier more accurate installation and 
points setup.
