[Mgs] Pertronix Flame Thrower distributor

[Brits'n'Pieces (Eric Frenken)]

Paul, regarding the 41339, if you set a static of 10 deg and you have an
*additional* centrifugal advance of 10 deg @ 1,000 rpm (which makes it all
together 20 deg @ 1,000 rpm), how can you have a strobe of 15 deg @ 1,500
rpm?

In 71 the engine changed from an 18GK with a 25D4 41339 distributor to an
18V
584/585 with a 25D4 41370 distributor, so it all depends on what you have.
The characteristics of these were (all in crankshaft degrees):

41339:
Static 10 degrees
Strobe 15 at 1500 rpm
*Additional* centrifugal advance over the static figure:
10 degrees at 1000 rpm
24 at 2800
30 at 4600
Vacuum advance started at 7 in.Hg., ended at 13 in.Hg., giving a maximum 10
degrees.

41370:
Static 10 degrees
Strobe 16 at 1500
Centrifugal:
20 at 1850
35 at 3600
41 at 4800
Vacuum starts at 7, ends at 13, max 6 degrees.
