Re: Gm v6 hei ?

PerTronix IS NOT AN HEI, nowhere near it. They are a TCBI (transistor controlled breaker-less inductive). They make the same output voltage as a brand new set of points makes, the first spark out of them, and doesn't degrade from pitting and wear on the points face, but, they do not make anywhere near HEI voltage levels, NO MATTER THE COIL USED , NO MATTER THE INPUT VOLTAGE, RESISTED OR NOT, THEY DON'T MAKE ANYWHERE NEAR HEI SPARK OUTPUT LEVELS, PERIOD.

The advertising hype that replacement drop-in systems like PerTronix have received, has sure changed the truth about their spark output levels. This over hype advertising sure does sell a lot of junker ignition systems, though. Too bad, it gives a REAL HEI a really bad name from it all.

That IS the truth of it.

Anyone want a free PerTronix, I have about 2,000 of them out in 5 - 55 gallon barrels, all dead as a door nail, you can pick the one you want to be completely and totally frustrated with, and not have to pay for it.
