My quest. Has anyone compered the MPG performance on original system compared to the electronic system. I am curious to know.
thanks


Tim-

My mileage hasn't changed, that I can see. However I can tell you I experienced better, smoother, acceleration. Acceleration improved even more when I replaced the voltage regulator with a more robust model. I believe the 'old' regulator didn't allocate enough juice to the ignition system.

Anyway....the electronic ignition system has been a joy. It had no effect on radio reception.

I still have the old distributor (it's in good working condition), so the car's next owner will have the option of reverting, if he so chooses. But for me, I'll stay with the new setup.

Hope this helps,

Mark
