Reply to "Are Pertronix and Magnaspark"

Seems to be a fair amount of hostility towards Pertronix...my stock ($100) unit has about 6000 miles on the clock and has an ideal mechanical advance curve for my motor..it is +1 /- 1 (crank) degree !

I would look at the distributor drive gear (lot's of potential problems there) and the crank/cam mechanical interface (0-lash)...and then take a look at the push-rods (fully 30% longer than an LS-1 rod)...and puny in comparison!

A couple of years ago a guy in Germany showed me his laser-driven crank trigger accurate (he said) to 1/1000 of a degree rolleyes . That's neat-that's-nice, but he had no idea how the 4 cams in his motor synchronized with that shake
