Re: Which Coil do you guys use?

When the vac advance kicks in, you can see the entire dis. rotate...the vacuum advance unit pulls on an arm that rotates the whole body. I'm pretty sure the autolite dist is on there now. I have two autolites (i think they're for 327 motors) and the original delco off of the car in the first place. One autolite is points, the other pertronix.

Pertronix does not make a kit for the delco as the breaker plate is on ball bearings and moves inside, and their adapter plate wouldn't work there. I like the autolite better because it's a snap to adjust timing (just that one screw) and it's neat to watch it jump around when reving during a tune up. Trivial, i know.

Also, i believe the autolite would have come with the 53 nine main 327 that's in the car now. If there's a difference in timing between the two, it must be minimal. Both the delco and autolite ran fantastic in the 288 i had in the car before.
