What fuel are you running? racing or street car??

 

I will be running 93 octane pump gas, street engine.

Thank you

 

Just read that Stu Hilborn died today at 93 years old. A real pioneer!

 

On gas for the street any type of quality ignition is fine. The look of the converted vertex is nice but a lot of posts on here about issues with them.

 

Actually he died on Dec. 16th and he was 96 years old. I was at Hilborn's just this morning having my injector set up. I got to see the archive room where they have info on about every injector they sold. They found some missing information on mine for me

 

For a street car, I would run an early Stock distributor with a PerTronix to keep it looking period correct but with the better speak of electronics.

 

Vertex Magneto and 110 octane race fuel. I have 13:1 comp.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone!

I like the sound of this. I was worried that an older stock distributer would not fit and I don't have one handy to try. Price wise also because I really don't need the features of the pricy magnetos

Thanks guys!

 

I race w/ alcohol & use MSD electronic type distributor

 

Have a picture of this by chance. would like to check it out

Thank you

 

I'm using a MSD crank trigger set-up, cap has a pretty big diameter if you are trying to figure out clearance.

 

Awesome BigDrag. I love it. Thanks a bunch for posting this info and pic
