Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Electronic Distributor on Ebay
Got a little experience here so here's?my .02c....
?
I happen to have 3?running Roadsters?(all in excellent? condition) and each
with?a different ignition setup. The first one is a 1600 that I finished
building?in 1999 that has the Pertronix ignition?and I?am happy to?say?it?has
worked perfectly for over 8 years. (Sorry Gary.... didn't know of you then?or
that?I even had a choice?) The second car is a 2 liter that has Gary's dizzy
installed. I've had this car for a little over two years?and?am happy to
report?the ignition not only?looks great?but that?it?has also worked?absolutely
perfect?since day one. Third car is another 1600?that I picked up with a very
long list of problems, one of which?being a failed stock ignition system.?I
recently installed?the same?electronic ignition that Tim Minor has in his 2
liter?and in my opinion it has performed as well as either ignition in my other
two cars. I don't know everything about this new distributor but I do?know that
it is?not the earlier Nissan A series and in fact uses the standard Hitachi
ignition from the Sentra. (Made sure I picked up a spare when I bought it.)
I've got no steak here so I'm seriously not trying to promote anybody's
ignition. I?like Gary's dizzy?because it's?an excellent?unit?and it?also looks
great. I?like the Pertronix?unit because it's?a good choice for those who don't
want to spend a lot of money but would like?to get away from the prehistoric
points system. I?like this new?distributor?because?it uses the stock Roadster
cap and hides all of the electronics on the?inside instead of the outside
giving a "stock appearance" under the hood.
I can tell you from experience that all 3 are way better than any stock system
and the only regret you may have after?putting?any of them?in your car is not
doing it sooner.
