PerTronix D1071 Details

This is a "Race" only Flamethrower HEI distributor from PerTronix. All new parts are used, and includes a 7.2 amp module and matching 50,000 volt coil.  They are designed to operate in the 6500-8500 rpm range. It comes with a steel gear and does not have vacuum advance (includes an assortment of springs for mechanical advance).

Compared to standard HEI distributors, this race unit produces 42% more energy with 46% faster spark breakdown time, allowing 48% more peak current to reach the spark plug. This abundant energy doubles the spark intensity during the critical one millisecond of burn time. 

Fits both the Small Block and Big Block Chevy V-8.

Features:

  • Lightweight A384 cast aluminum alloy housing
  • Aligned and honed high quality bronze sintered bushings for reduced friction and extended life
  • Centerless ground corrosion resistant shaft reduces friction and provides concentric operation
  • RACE ONLY 7.2 amp module and 50,000 volt coil
  • Distributor gear is ground to exact tolerances for tighter mesh with cam
  • High dielectric strength cap with solid brass terminals and low resistance center coil brush
  • Balanced rotor with nylon screws prevent arching and reduce vibration at high RPMs
  • Specially designed vacuum lockout prevents changes to rotor phasing to maximize combustion burn time at high RPMs
  • Tig welded rotor and advance plates prevent high RPM distortion while improving reliability
  • Precision machined chromoly advance weights and center plate eliminate erratic timing
  • Additional advance springs included for fine tuning the advance curve to your needs
  • Replacement cap part # when required 447-D4051

Bought one these last made 6 short trips right around here with it. The car would cough about every 15 miles then on thanksgiving day it coughed twice, that's when I started walking. It didn't even have a hundred miles on it.No I wouldn't recommend to a friend.
