I know there’s about 1,000,001 variations of the distributors on these cars, and I’ve also read here that the Pertronix Distributors are clones of the much hated 009 distributors. Is the SVDA unit they sell considered acceptable because it has a better curve than their other units?

The only thing I don't like about the Pertronix SVDA is it's exclusively for a Ignitor and you can't put points in it. So for me (who has Ignitors fail in my bare hands) it's not my first choice, but it's got a good advance curve and is new.

Compared to the Mallory units or getting a 050 rebuilt you can buy two of these and keep on as a spare. It is a touch concerning that people have a variable experience with these products, personally I’ve been lucky but.... |
