  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.  ;-)
