2 left. Parts and support are available, but the system is so easy to install that a caveman could do it.
More units are under assembly.

PinzTronix is now available and is every bit as good as the PinzSSI in terms of performance, and priced about $140 less. Parts are available but should rarely, if ever, be needed as long as the proper voltage and a good ground is provided. These are the 2 main failure points, per Pertronix. Dust ...

Great explanation!

I have 5 left in stock.

No, that is the factory top from Steyr-Puch

I agree with Ron that the optical trigger should be more accurate, but there's also the argument that a Hall Effect is just as good. I'm not taking sides on this debate.
Dust could be a problem with the optical lens on the PinzSSI, that was a flaw. Using a DC filter may have also prevented dirty ...

I removed the PinzSSI to see how this ignition would work, and pulled my Pinz off the market the same day, the difference was that significant. My old PinzSSI 4.2 works perfectly and includes a filter, and has maybe 100KM on it at most.
Adapting a Pertronix distributor to the Pinzgauer was the main ...

You can have the oil in your Pinzgauer analyzed at Blackstone Laboratories, Google it. For $40 they will give you a complete breakdown of all the chemicals and metals in the oil, which is an indication of wear.

This is how the Pinzgauer looks with the new top installed and the bikini top.

The canvas was put back into the factory bag after I installed it once just to see what it looks like. I had the front section on for a while and replaced it with a bikini top, that's all you need here in Southern California.
The rear roll bar has been in the garage attic forever. Another custom ...

I went to WalMart yesterday to get oil for the Pinzgauer and found out that they only sell synthetic oil now in 10w-30 and most other viscosities. I ended up going to AutoZone and paying $31 for a 5-quart jug of 10w-30.
I also wanted a Mobil1 oil filter and cannot find the correct part number that ...

My mistake. The solenoid moved jet rods up and down, not the fuel inlet. The longer the jet was up, the richer the mixture. The longer it was down, the leaner. Google Computer Command Control, it was an interesting concept that was used before fuel injection.
There's no way you could adapt a Zenith ...

General Motors installed computer controlled Rochester carbs on thier cars in the early to mid 80s with success. This was called CCC, or Computer Command Control. Rich and lean conditions were controlled by a solenoid that continuously raised and lowered the float level based on inputs by the ...
