Default Re: Ignition upgrade in restoration

Hi Bob very easy to install can be done with distributor in the car but highly recommend installing with the distributor out. It will take about 45 minutes to install and that includes resetting the timing etc. I got interested in this unit because of the single wire design and a dyno test that High Performance Pontiac ran between a regular points set up and M&H's unit using the same distributor housing. The M&H unit came out on top with a 2-5 hp gain. I felt that even if it a wash in the HP area that not having to worry about wearing out the distributor cam lobes on an expensive and rare distributor was important to me. Points also have declining efficiency at higher rpms which has a serious effect on your spark voltage and results in poor high-speed performance, incomplete combustion and other drivability problems.
