Title: What distributor should I use???
Post by: 79charger on April 13, 2011, 06:34:41 PM

Some of you read my adventure yesterday and my ignition problems . Well I though I could go at this alone but I need some guidance for my BBF
 after all . After what I thought was a bad coil , I have chased down to the pertronix kit In my autolite dizzy. I installed the Msd 6Al digital and a new blaster vib resisitant coil today , and still no spark . Dizzy still turns round when I crank her over . I was then informed that I need a pertronix coil because of the higher resistance they carry over a blaster coil . And eventually the blaster coil will lead to the demise of the pertronix igniter . Which is what I am going on right now...... should I stay with the pertronix or get a drop in MSD dizzy ? If so what model ? Thanks  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

For ease of installation I have a Mallory HEI on my BBF but you are already deep in ignition components so I would probably go with the MSD like Ralph and Gord said.
