Interesting that he says " I WILL NOT install a  Pertronix in a TR6 and 
will do everything in my power to talk you into using  points!!!"


I wonder why?

 
 
 
I asked Jeff @ Advanced Distributors that very same "why" question just  
yesterday because I saw it on the website and thought this represented a new  
position for him.
here is his response:
 
"RFI noise from plugs wires causes a misfire and I see it on the dyno.  
Put in points, gain power. Its a repetitive issue I see with insanely  
great regularity.
Jeff"
 
 
It so happens that I own a chassis dyno and literally less than an hour ago 
 had a customer TR6 on the dyno with a distributor rebuild by Advanced  
Distributors with a Pertronix ignitor in it. The car makes really good power 
and  has no miss anywhere in the power band and has a nearly flat air/fuel 
curve.  Time is money around here, so there is no way I'm going to put points 
in this  distributor to test Jeff's claim - this car runs great, so its going 
home with  the pertronix in it.  We have had many TR6s on this dyno - only 
a few  with Pertronix in them, but I have seen no evidence of misfire in any 
of them 
 
There are many "experts" in our hobby. Some may be wrong, but none are in  
doubt.  ;-)
 
Cheers,
Jack Mc
