Re: Last Blast
Marlin, Curious who youre sending your Carb to for restore/rebuild.....I had Jerry Luck do mine but as my car remains "as is" the carb is still in the box.......also who did your distributor, somebody well known like McNeish or a local to you???...at any rate its exciting to hear about your LT-1 engine as that of course is what we share in common with myself having the 70 Z-28.....
thanks, Chuck Sharin

Re: Last Blast
Northwest Yenko (Jim) Curious who you would be using to redo your distributor and if anybody reading this has used the Pertronoix conversion with one wire showing (or whatever it takes to conceal the change) ....Anyway Jim I've heard that Mathewsons Automotive in Renton,WA has the knowhow and the old Sun Machine to modify your original distributor, but maybe you know a competent person closer to your area???.......Chuck Sharin

Re: Last Blast
Chuck, We had nothing but problems with the pertronix setup. We had it in a customers L78 nova and the car was very lazy and it would breakup on us at higher rpm's. We installed a stock big block distributor in it and the car rips! The pertronix setup is sitting on my shelf in my shop. Just my .02 cents...... KP

Re: Last Blast
I've heard both good and bad stories about Pertronix as well. Here's an alternative that a number of users on the Chevelle board have endorsed. http://www.davessmallbodyheis.com/

Re: Last Blast
I'm not 100% sure it was Pertronix I installed in an LS6 for a customer a couple years ago....but it seems like that was the brand name.
It seemed to worked quite well,I also did some other tuning too...but the car had no problem burning the tires threw first and second gear,rolling at about 15-20 mph.....which wasn't possible before that. Of course,I wasn't twisting it up like a Small block...either,so I'm not sure how it would act at 7 grand. Maybe they had some,that were defective?
