I'm a republican and I don't talk points distributors anymore. With
both of my boats, I've gotten rid of the ignition points and gone with
HEI.

I installed Pertronix ignition kits in both. I really can't say they
initially start any easier, but after warm up, the engines kick right
off with very little effort. The performance is snappier, and I get a
lot better fuel per hr. I wouldn't go back to pioints distributors
if I had to.

On my 23' Marquis with the 5.7 GM (350 chevy) I'm even thinking on
going with an "MSD" (Multiple Discharge System) to see if I can add
even more spark performance. on cruise they don't do much, but under
load at 4000 rpm, I think the engine will perform better yet.

For no more than a MSD kit costs, It's at least worth a try.

Should have just broken down and purchased Mallory electronic
distributors. Cheap freakin' Republican.

Both of my boat distributors are Mallory, and you tell me where I an
get a brand new Mallory electronic distributor for the price of a
Pertronix kit ($69.00!)

I'm glad you arn't running the world.....

Pinhead:

Send them to Mallory and they'll convert them for you for $100/unit.

Far cry from $69.00 a piece for Pertronix. Conver them? I said NEW.
not converted.

Excellent economics!

And you call me a sucker.

You're a bigger fool than I thought.

You purchased a whole electronic distributor from Pertronix for $69?
Wrong. You purchased an upgrade kit.

BTW, I sent Mallory gently used, point-based units, they exchanged them
for new electronic. It cost me $100/unit. Repeat. They replaced them
with brand new units.

You just a little embarrassed that you weren't smart enough to do the
research? All it took was a call to Mallory. I would expect a sharp
"conservative" like you to check around before making a decision.
