Re: Convert points to electic

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

I actually bought my Pertronix off of eBay and was able to beat
Summit, Jegs, and ANYONE local...just search Pertronix & the p/n. I
noticed an immediate performance improvement just with the 2 BBL that
was on the car. It's extremely easy to setup...just don't lose the
little clear plastic shim for setting the gap.
