RE: Parts interchangeability
By Martin Micheelsen - 09/12/2003 3:52:52 PM; IP 66.135.226.87
Other people on this forum know WAY more about parts interchangebility. You can try searching the forum for the info you need. There are hours worth of reading here.

The basic petronics setup just replaces the points and condensor. It will the work with a standard or improved coil. That can be combined with the MSD multispark unit. The MSD unit jolts the coil for multible bigger sparks. Personally I have the MSD distributor with the MSD multispark unit and a regular coil. That is not the most economical solution, but it sure brougt some life back to a very tired engine.

If you feel your engine is underperforming you should try to narrow down the variables. That is why I suggested starting with the ignition, since that is relatively inexpensive and does not get to the internals of the engine. A compression check is very low cost (buy the tool). If you have reliable spark and reasonable compression the carburator is next in line for a look over. If you have spark, compression and the fuel is delivered right, then you should have pretty good performance.
This thread, so far...
