| No trouble with Pertronix here.... |

| I put one in.....best thing I ever did for my engine from a performance vs $ standpoint. So, either you suddenly have an unrelated problem, or your timing is off. If you have vacumn advance, make sure it is disconnected and the vacumn line plugged off before you set your timing. Vacumn advance is more for a daily driver car (where gas mileage is a concern), so I run mechanical advance only....much less confusion when working on a modified engine. Can't remember for sure, but seems to me retarded timing will cause overheating....advanced timing will cause pinging. Anyway, the pertonix unit only simulates the points and won't affect cooling.......timing will.....suggest you check again. And of course......co-incidence.....did you do this yesterday?...Friday the 13th?....cuz maybe yesterday your thermostat just screwed up for no reason at all...........LOL....a "twilight zone 390". Good luck and let us know what you find out please. |
