RE: Pertronix Gimmick?

Did you reset your timing after you installed the Pertronix?

An often overlooked step in the installation is that it will retard the initial timing, so you've got to bump it back. I wouldn't be surprised if your after-installation timing were retarded 6 degrees.

I don't remember if resetting the timing were mentioned in the installation, but I *do* remember it being mentioned in the mag's.

I have a Pertronix on my 428, and it works great. I don't consider it a performance upgrade, though. I consider it a maintenance upgrade.
This thread, so far...
