"The hardest thing to installation is mounting the thing. "
Well Craig, you may have answered your own question. To each his own, but I
preferred the Pertronix for it's simple design and for the fact that it fits
under the distributor cap and doesn't require an external control box which I
personally find ugly. It's waterproof, will not fail due to optical
components getting dirty and provides instantaneous improvement over points in
a convenient, stealth package. It's also very inexpensive compared to
externally controlled units and I have no need for a rev limiter. These are
my own personal reasons for digging Pertronix, but like I said, to each his
own.
Take care,

Subject: Petronix Vs. MSD
Why all the fuss about the Petronix unit?
I have installed many MSD units on everything from Chevy 350's to Spit four
bangers, same unit each time. MSD 6AL, the unit has modules for RPM
limitation and is absolutely the easiest thing in the world to install. The
hardest thing to installation is mounting the thing.
I don't work for them but I just love the product, take a look at the link
and you folks tell me why Petronix has a lock on Spits?
