If I am doing some performance mods in my rebuild of the 62' 235 is this 'enough' to drive it AND efficient enough?
Thanks ahead of time,

Thanks

Pertronix Ignitor Catalog They work in '52 Chevrolet truck distributors and have a 6v and 12v version. Tim | | |

(actually I have a 62' 235) Cost @ $80. Matched it up with a "Flame Thrower" coil. Cost @ $33 and topped it off w/ a new distributor cap. Cost @ $15. I'll probably replace the vacuum advance if I can find one????? Anyone know a source?
The upshot is 'no points'. The down shot is I have to take the dang thing apart to scrap a couple of pounds of rust off it and repaint. | | |
