Hey guys im building a fairly stout 455 for my GS. TA Performance stage 1 heads, ported, bored approx 30 with forged pistons, balanced, roller cam, 1.65 ratio roller rockers, performance intake, 800 cfm quadrajet, etc. Should be pushing 500 HP so im told. ' My question is which distributor should i use? MSD, JEGS ready to run, TA Performance has their own, ?similer to MSD? Points distributor? Thanks for any help Steve
I do, and I have talked to Dave Ray about converting it, but he was still recovering from a nasty brown recluse spider bite on one of his hands. So he may be out of service. I have not heard good things about Pertronix, maybe some one could change that... Pertronix reviews? Im not against using points they worked fine for many years. It just chaps me to spend almost $500 for an MSD. Steve
I have run mallory and msd for years in many vehicles with no issues. I have tried pertronix and not been a fan
It's WAY MORE IMPORTANT to have the correct ignition timing curve than having electronic ignition. The biggest advantage to MSD distributors is you have the ability to adjust the amount of mechanical advance inside the distributor. The amount of mechanical advance inside stock points distributors varies depending on what it initially came out of. The difference can be substantial, and you can't adjust it, at least not easily. What's the part number of the points distributor you want to use? http://v8buick.com/index.php?thread...specs-1965-66-66-67-68-69-70-71-72-74.329332/ http://v8buick.com/index.php?threads/power-timing-your-buick-v8.63475/
