Does anyone have any thoughts on Pertronix versus a full MSD setup
(box, coil, and distributor) in terms of performance? I know the MSD costs a lot more..... Scott Spike wrote: > I can identify with that.....

It will be accurate to about 9K rpm, and create a strong accurate spark under heavy boost and with nitrous. Now, if that's the kind of engine you have, then you need to spend the big bux on it. However, I suspect none of that applies to you. So switching to a billet distributor with a control box, fancy coil, big wires, etc, will not change the performance of your engine. You can always pick up a few ponies with a better ignition curve, but there are cheaper ways to accomplish this. But it will make your wallet significantly lighter. And we know that less weight is always better -- ..boB 1997 HD FXDWG - Turbocharged! 2001 Dodge Dakota QC 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver 1966 FFR Cobra - Ongoing project |
