I liked the idea of the built in rev limiter and at the time , it was a well thought of upgrade - just like hydraulic rollers lol ! . I grew up with H.E.I. , and just figured it would be a no hassle improvement . It randomly just shut off once and then I was afraid of it . No stumble , sputter , just like ur turned the key off . Fired right back up , I could only assume it was the Petronix . I really didn’t want to mount a ballast resistor , but it’s small and the air cleaner hides it . The car sounds smooth , I think it’s quieter - is that possible ?

Question Coil

Hey can I ask what coil are you using.
Have been thinking about going back to
Points at some point down the road.
Thanks
Gerry

Yes. Gases yearn to do their thing. When the burn
happens inside a large hunk of cast iron, it's quieter.
Late burns move the noise downstream.
