I just added a Pertronix 40kv coil to my 74 Spitfire (found at JC Whitney)
I also have Bosch platinum plugs, Pertronix Ignitor Ignition and 8mm spiral
wound silcon wire. I opened my Gap to .040 . I am also using a Ballast with the
Coil. Pertronix stated to use a Ballast for low speed driving, If
not, the Ballast is not neccessary.
With the New coil and increased plug gap, I find my car runs noticable
better.
I"ll post pics this weekend of the setup, With my custom fit wires :-)
THnx
Pat
