Pertronix Distributors - experience anyone?

[Dave Garner]

I am looking to change the old Prestolite Marine (!!) distributor on my 302 Windsor (hydraulic roller cam, lifters, roller rockers, Holley 600cfm cab, Edelbrock RPM Performer heads)

I already have a 'FlameThrower' coil and 'Ignitor' replacement for the contacts and have been looking at the Pertronix D130800, does anyone have any experience of these distributors in a 302 appliction?

My usage is 75% road 25% track days. Max rpm 6250.

Many Thanks!

Dave

Dave:
I have used them in 2 Ford distributors and they are virtually bulletproof, the only problem I heard about was a unit that was introduced with a rev limiter and it was not as reliable.
I don't remember the part number of the one I am using now, but 2 1/2 years and it is still ticking.
Cheers

Thanks Phil!

It's always good to get feedback from people who have used the kit!
