Upgrading my distributor any suggestions on equipment, etc.? Thanks!
First off, what's the reason for wanting an upgrade? I can think of a lot of possible answers, and they all have different recommendations. And one constant: A good distributor advance curve is a big key to performance, and many people overlook it.
- "I just don't want to deal with adjusting points." - Pertronix Ignitor is the easy option here.
- "The motor is stock, but I still think there may be some horsepower to gain." - Tuning the advance curve is the real secret to making power in this case.
- "My race motor is misfiring from 7,000 RPM up to its 8,500 RPM redline." - Some will disagree with me here, but my personal preference for ultra high RPM is a capacitive discharge system like an MSD.
- "I need to light off 15 psi of boost" or "I need to light off a 200 hp shot of nitrous" - These are also going to call for something more exotic, but exactly what will depend on the details of your build and what other electronics are on there.
- "I've got a modified motor, but not that crazy" - Post the details of what you've got.
