Title: Is this junk?
Post by: spectramitch on September 23, 2017, 06:47:33 AM

I have a prestolite distributor on a 460 ford. Is this a magnetic pick up and is it any good? The boat runs good but could it be better?

Its impossible to say just by looking BUT..... magnetic pickups are usually an either/or item. They either work or they don't. Is the pickup/ reluctor gap adjustable?  The clearance spec is pretty small, something like 8-9 thousandths.
