A few questions...

Joe,
When I put in my Pertronix I also changed the coil to their Flamethrower II. It puts out 45,000 volts. Stock is probably about 25,000. I also widened the spark plug gap to .045" Great improvement in power and fuel economy.

I was looking at the Mallory with the conversion kit and Mallory coil. I am not set on those, still deciding. Thanks for the input

If you are thinking of the Mallory Unilite conversion kit, it is a good unit BUT.... The performance gains are great. I did the conversion in my 73 460 Ranchero. It worked well for about 3 years and then with no warning died. I had the points, condensor and rotor in the glove compartment, and changed it back to points right in the parking lot of Circuit City. It fired right up and ran well. When I checked on the cost of a new "eyeball" for the Unilite, it cost as much as the entire kit did in the first place.
As well as my Pertronix works in my Galaxie, the points, rotor and condensor reside in the glove compartment......just in case.
