[daytonalo]

One question about the a new drop in MSD dist .I want to know if a standard stock looking cap will fit on it so it will be more stock appearing . Larry

    Completely different, for a BB anyway. Also., you better like RED. Mine seems to work well....but sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm starting to wish I had gone with the FBO set-up.

Thats just a guess.

It's a performance ignition supplier.  I don't seem to have their web address here anymore but I think it's 4 seconds flat.com or something like that.

I have had problems with both the Pertronics & FBO systems   

[Ghoste]

What issues have you had with the Pertronix ones Neil?

[daytonalo]

As far as conversions go , Ive installed  over 20 crane drop in conv with no problem . The crane has a adj rev limiter on the plate and picks up off the stock lobes .In my opinion it makes the pertronix obsolete. I wanted a stock locking new dist that has adj  advance

[Chryco Psycho]

the ones I have had problems with would not start intermittently

[daytonalo]

The crane conversion ?

[Ghoste]

I think he means the Pertronix ones.

[Chryco Psycho]

yes Pertronics systems

I'm about to send my distributor to FBO (Fat, Bald, and Old- website is http://www.4secondsflat.com/).  If you guys have had problems with this distributor, please let me know soonest. My MP electronic distributor has too much mechanical advance to run an appropriate amount of initial advance. Thanks
