Like Rob, I went back to a good old points distributor when the HEI died in our L78 Chevelle. With a good advance curve and a good set of Accel points (not the race units)the car starts and runs fine.

Hey Keith...if I'm not mistaken, it was our very own Casey Marks that did a dyno showdown with a Pertronix unit and a regular points setup, and the Pertronix unit came in 2nd in the HP department...:
