fedoragent Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 FYI, I have one in my car and it works BEAUTIFULLY. I had to call him and ask him EXACTLY what to order...but it is amazing when working. I'd go for it sir. FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I would thoroughly recommend it, however I have seen where some on this forum have had issues, I had NO problems at all and would recommend it again......andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbound Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Same here, using one in my 201, no issues in the 2 years it's been installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGyver Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I agree. Have it. Love it. Highly recommend it... And zero problems on all fronts, from ordering, shipping, setup, or usage over the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar_earl Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm leaning towards this option. I found my distributor in bad shape. Bushings shot and breaker plate seized. I had a spare and found it had good bushings but a baldy worn flyweight. So I made one get by distributor from the two. Seems parts are rare and expensive to repair the model I have. An IAT-4011. Unfortunately my car is still 6v so I'd have to convert the car to 12v or find a reliable 6v to 12v convertor that would handle the hei setup. Which I doubt that exists.

deathbound Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Pertronix has a 6V positive conversion using your stock dizzy. Search "Pertronx" on here and you should get some good info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar_earl Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Pertronix has a 6V positive conversion using your stock dizzy. Search "Pertronx" on here and you should get some good info.That was my original route till I found my distributor was junk. Going price for the shaft is 125+ and 65+ for the breaker plate. I can't find flyweights or the springs. Also I don't have a test stand to adjust the mechanical advance. That's a lot of money to spend and than spend 130 for the pertronix kit. My get by I made from the two isn't worth dumping money into either. I've been looking for a nos or a good used one but they are rare apparently.Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
