[DeTomaso] Distributors

Richard, my only experience with Pertronix is, its the one and only electronic distributor package I've ever found that can PARTIALLY fail! The one in question would start fine and run up to about 2000 rpms, then begin misfiring. Replacing the drop-in fixed it. Very odd....

  Anybody have experience with the Pertronix "Stock Look" Ford
  distributor?  I'm considering the MSD 8477 and Pertronix D134620 for my
  new engine (351C).  Both require boxes--even though the Pertronix can
  be used without one, in order to get the same power, multi-spark, and
  rev-limiter, you need their box.  It will be a moderate engine with max
  revs at around 6,000.  If you're familiar with Mike Drew's motor, it
  will be a little less than that.  I will be asking the engine builder
  (same as Mike's) the same question but haven't wanted to bother him
  with just the one question.


  My concern is that the Pertronix might not be "enough" distributor.  It
  is cast with bushings while the MSD is billet with ball bearings.  I've
  researched them and both have the same reviews of both praise and
  disdain.


  Thanks,


  Richard
