Just to add to the confusion....... I have been running the Pee set up for years now and installed in a few friends as well.... and we are still friends.....but...... we must be in the minority group that is still using them without failure..... all of the onstock 216 rebuilt and 261 rebuilt.......261 RUNNING YF CARTER SUGGESTED BY JERRY AND LOVE IT.....
Our experience is that you have to readjust to a slightly leaner mix, get rid of the hard wire spark plug wires and increase the gap on the AC 43 to about 39 to 40 t and then it purrs. Also converted to paper filters in an original air filter casing.
The MAIN reason....and a very important one for us...... the distributor is literally inacessible on the CMP trucks with the British design semi cab over...... in my case space was so tight that I had to change the 261 dizzy for the smaller dizzy from the 216 Pee to gain about 5/8 of an inch .....so 4x4 driving on abandoned logging roads with no service (cell or otherwise) is critical on Peesystem.... set it once and forget it..... Maybe we have been lucky....... accessing my engine is about 3 hours to remove every bolt and screw holding the 5 panels of the engine cover...same to reassemble.... may be more as you have to use pry pin bars....instal loosely...drive it a little and retighten each fasteners.......... my hood opening is about 12 inches wide by 20 inches long......only used to add oil!!!!!! or check the rad....
Now I have something else to worry about!!!!!!
