I also put the Petronix unit in my stock distributor ('58 283) a few weeks
ago. My truck had been very hard starting (the resistor was also bad).
Now, it fires up right away like a Chevy motor should, and has never run
better.

Dave,I have the Pertronix's in my 58 235 and I love it starts good, runs
good, sounds good and you don't have to adjust anything.I give there
products an A+. Smokey on the list, has it in his AD and he told me He loved
it and it ran better than it ever did, I put mine in when I put it on the
road so I don't have anything to compare it to.
