Default Re: Anyone run the Pertonix stuff??

http://community.webshots.com/album/66411434vZZvus I put some pics here. The distributor was a spare single point out of a '69 that my friend had. I'm hoping for 15MPG with the HEI and the tripower.

Default Tach drive (Corvette) small body HEI

This first picture is of a full HEI setup in a tach drive (Corvette)) distributor. Due to the tach drive assembly, the module is remote mounted...but, if you remove the module, then you are left with an MSD trigger conversion for those fans of the "red boxes".

Default Small body w/MSD hookup

And here is a stock small body distributor with the MSD magnetic trigger installed (shown with optional Crane adjustable vacuum advance)...just plug it into your favorite MSD box and go.

Interesting bit of irony...

...it seems the Pertonix unit in our Camaro crapped out on us today[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]. Oh well, it was
time to "upgrade" anyway...[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
