Roger...
Over here, the self-contained (within the
distributor) electronic ignition is called
"PerTronix". Over there, it is known by
another name and dammit, I cannot
think of it but I am sure a UK lister
will help me out here (hopefully).
Like most new things, the PerTronix
(a Hall Effect Device) had it's share
of teething problems when new in
terms of failure's. Since I have been
using one for the last 3 years or so,
I've had no problems. There is an
upgraded version out now for most
applications called (surprise!), the
PerTronix II...which compensates for
reduced dwell time at high revs thus
giving even better performance at
higher rpms.
I also run their matching coil and
would be running their wires as well
were I not using Nology "Hotwires".
Do a websearch on this product for
more info. but bottom line is, I've
found it reliable and dependable over
time.
Can't help you with the UK chassis
dyno but...I can tell you from experience
that "dialing in" an upgraded or "tuned"
motor on a dyno WILL get the most
out of your upgrades...it's actually
part of the upgrade process, really in
terms of the "icing on the cake".
