Default Re: Thats it for me

Too many things can cause complete failure of electronic ignition for my use . I use a mostly original distributor with a Stipe distributor cam , with 10 degrees more dwell . I use a .035 gap at the rotor tip for hotter spark at the plugs . I also recommend a Pertronix 40.000 volt flame thrower coil . Part #40611 . I run 12 volts with a completely unmodified original generator and use a Fun Projects can style voltage regulator . This setup uses original points . I get instant starts and much hotter spark . This setup gives more power that you can actually feel in the seat of your pants. After installing the Flamethrower coil the engine runs so much more efficiently that I had to idle down the carbs . This system looks completely stock and is just as simple as original .
