I was introduced to
Pertronix ignition systems in the 1980s when my racing partner and I installed
one in our 1967 Chevelle 327 cid drag race car. Max rpm was supposed to be
6000 but we ran the motor up to 7500 for several years with no problems.
We never looked under the dist. cap for 2-3 years, that's how dependable it
was!
When I upgraded my
1968 Chevelle SS396, I used the same ignition and added another great product,
DirectHits spark amplifier modules ( http://www.directhits.com/ ).
These devices are really capacitors that store and compress the spark. I
have installed many of these kits on customers cars in order to increase mpg and
they really do work, about 10-15% gain. My personal cars/vans gained over
4 mpg. My chevelle mpg was up but main reason for use in this car was to gauge
performance- from 14.2s 1/4 mile to 13.90s with just adding the DirectHits and
sparkplugs right there at the drag strip.
