Great product, in the beginning the super shiny billet finish nearly looks cheap. Internally use of a lot of plastic. But works great. Have it in a 1954 331 V8 with a 56 Eldorado dual 4 barrel intake. I was scared it will interfere with the intake or the carbs, but it went perfectly in place. Has the option to tune the ignition curve with the springs. Importent: use the correct coil ad wires! To many people blame pertronix for failure they just produce them selfe.
