Pertronix Gimmick?
By Rob - 12/09/2001 11:40:13 PM; IP 209.166.133.118
I bought the pertronix electronic conversion module for my single point 390 this june.. at the same time of putting on the module .. I put on a MSD 6A ignition box... I have noticed a pretty big power decrease.. Hoping it was not the MSD 6A box (most expensive)...this weekend I removed the pertronix and replaced it with points and kept the MSD 6A box.. I immediatly noticed a difference such that 10 horsepower makes. now the strip is closed so I can't test it technically... but I do feel the increase in power... I mean i was bummed with the pertronix... anyways.. I heard how it increased power right off and helped starting and everyting... yet my pertronix reduced power and it still started like it hard points in it... I set it up like the instructions said and even like the MSD instructions said.... Heck.. maybe i have a dud.... my luck

Does anyone else have this problem with the pertronix.. its pretty sad to think points can be better than an electionic conversion tho.. im sure the points are gonna be a little less efficient... but id rather have the ponies..... anyone's feedback or experiences will be appreciated.. thanks...
