Hello all!
I have a great running non smoking, not knocking, honest stock P-15 with a recently rebuilt ball and ball and extensive tuneup. Other than a worn cam lobe for my fuel pump (running a key on electric in conjunction) the car is great.
In a different vehicle I have used Pertronix ignition with great results and throttle response. Yes a 472 V8 Cadillac is a very different animal but could my P-15 stand to gain a bit more power if I replace the condensor and coil with a hotter than stock unit? Could this cause trouble with a hotter spark in the long run on a 12V converted car? Here are the specs and improvements over stock....
Delivers twice the voltage to the spark plugs, increasing horsepower, fuel economy, and spark plug life
2:1 improvement over points in current fall time for increased coil output
Rotating cobalt magnets trigger a Hall Effect integrated circuit . ...no points to burn, ...no moving parts to wear out
Epoxy molding makes our module impervious to dirt, oil, grease and moisture
Fits entirely inside the distributor
No "black box to clutter the engine compartment
Stable timing ...no need for any adjustments
Will trigger most multi-spark CD ignitions
Use with Flame-Thrower® 40,000 volt coil for optimal performance (INCLUDED)
Available for 6 and 12-volt negative and positive ground systems
Thanks in advance for any advice regarding this ignition/spark system.
Matt
