| Pertronix ignition / Leak free exhaust |
| By Rob - 01/21/2001 4:09:20 PM; IP 205.200.59.91 |
Would upgrading the original 390 distributor with a Pertronix unit
be a worthwhile endeavor ?
How much does a unit actually cost if bought from a dealer ? Have seen
them on the Net ranging from $45.00 to $69.00 .
Last year had nothing but grief with leaky exhaust manifolds (1963 390) . Took it all apart & now have had the exhaust manifolds planed & also took the heads off & had the exhaust flanges planed . Need some advice on assembley / or is it a trial & error sort of thing ? here are the 5 suggestions I have had .
1 - No gaskets at all .
2 - The Felpro soft gaskets .
3 - The Felpro metal gaskets (with plug wire Guard)
4 - # 2 & # 3 together
5 - Have bought a set of copper gaskets (1/16" thick) . The instructions say assemble with Permatex Ultra Black & no leaks are Gauranteed. This is the one I am presently leaning towards .
Thanks
