what ignition are you using??

[flysure1]

I know a lot of people have trouble with it but I have a petronix 2 in my 73 and have had no problems, what is the favorite on the 200 six, I need to upgrade from points one of these days---thanks

I put in a DS2 and I am very happy with it. It only took a couple hours to do it as well.

DS2 Cheap easy, and I like the look of the bigger cap. I have liked it a lot ove tha past couple of years.

I'm using the PTX 2 with a flashbang coil and have had no problems whatsoever. I'll probably go with a DUI in a while.

I'm running a DUI and it's working out great! Mike just posted that the same folk responsible for the DUI just came out with a custom DSII, which if I had the choice again I'd problably would have kept it all Ford and gone with the custom DSII.

Pertronix II with their Blaster coil. I'm very pleased with it, use the car as my daily driver.

8) in the 64 falcon i have an allison xr700 with a crane coil. it works pretty good, though it could be better.

in the 66 falcon i have a ds2 dist hooked up to a chrysler ignition box and msd blaster 3 coil. it works great. engine lights off first time even in sub 30 degree weather, with the choke standing wide open.

Pertronix I with a 40,000 coil, .50 gapped plugs and Accell 8mm wires.

I swapped it three years ago on this daily driver (300/week) and haven't a bit of trouble, haven't even changed the plugs.

Is there an advantage to the DS2 over the Pertronix?

You can find it in the junkyards
The parts are also available at any parts store.

Oh, so it's just a cost savings. My coil and Pert was about $100 from JCWhitney.

DSII + MSD6A + TFI coil = :shockin:

 

[Anonymous]

DSII + MSD6A = :shockin:

Same here, except 6AL (with rev limiter)
MSD makes hellaciously powerful sparkage!

'78 F-250 is stock DS II with a TFI coil/bracket from 80's TFI vehicle.(square coil)
The TFI coil is a step up from the old, round oil-filled units.

 

[80Stang]

DSII + MSD6A + Motorsport SVO Ultra coil + 9mm Ford Racing wires, .050" gapped Motorcraft BSF42C plugs (the famous 289/302 stock plug). My problems are elsewhere...

DUI+thier 10 mm plug wires.... :shockin: x2 :mrgreen:

[jamyers]

DS1 (small cap) and GM HEI triggering an MSD coil works pretty good.

If I ever get around to it, I'll get another MSD box off ebay and go back to DS/MSD/MSD.

I'll second the cool sparky smiley about MSD - I've never seen a spark jump an inch-wide gap before, let alone with such violence!

I ran a pertonix for 3-4 years with no problems popped in a duraspark I picked up for cheap and am running that. if you want I have a spare duraspark dissy you can have (cap/rotor/adaptor/wires) sitting in peoria on a spare motor now that I am going to a 2.3L TFI dissy. pm me if you are interested
