Title: Distributors.........................yes they belong in the back
Post by: 2savage4you on March 10, 2009, 12:33:23 PM: How many use the stock electronic dizzy in there ride ?

I currently have a converted points to electronic dizzy with the crane module and rev limiter but im thinking about going stock just to get it running and have less wires and shiat hanging on the engine...

I do plan on an upgrade after i run the boat awhile , but my main concerne is to get it running the easiest way
So how many use the stock stuff

I like it cause it was cheap, compared to buying a dizzy and a box. Was like 280 or so and is basically plug and play. Have had it for 3 years and never a prob. Just my .02, and a killer job you are doing ;D Mark

Post by: 76NORDIC on March 10, 2009, 09:09:10 PM: I agree with ya Crew Summit also sells the conversion kits, would be a cheaper, and just as reliable way to go, for me was just getting a billet dizzy, no box, and plug and play, is what sold me tho. Just my .02
