Hello I am Hooking up my new Pertronics Digiral HP box and i am getting close to setting all the different programs. The one I think I know which setting to set it at, but a little unsure of my self. So i figured i would ask on here.
Ok in the instructions there is 3 Trigger settings to pick from. The first on is for points which I will not be using. The other two are Rising Edge and falling edge.
Here is a picture of the instructions.
You have Electronic ignition triggers ( Riseing Edge) and Magnetic Triggers ( Falling Edge)
I will be using a mopar or MSD Distributor so I would set the box for Electronic ignition (Riseing Edge) Right?

I'm not familiar with MSD but here's the deal. If you are using a magnetic distributor, and reverse the pickup wires "incorrectly" it will offset rotor phasing, and cause rough running, etc. Same deal if you are using a Mopar dist to trigger an GM HEI module.

Do a Google search "rotor phasing" and you'll get lots of info
