Help me pick a dizzy
Howdy y'all. I'm about ready to drop in my new motor into my '66 F-250, I would appreciate any suggestions on what to use for an ignition setup. Pertronix? Dual points? Unilite? I don't want to spend abunch, but I want some performance. I like the Davis Unified set-up, but I'd catch alot of smack from them bow-tie pushin' bablers at the strip, It's a little on the spendy side anyway. It will be used for a .040" 390 (398) c4ae heads rv cam edelbrock performer intake and carb, w/headers, C-6 auto. Any opinions would be appreciated.

I have been running the Unilite conversion for many years with out a problem (knock on wood)..The only down side is you have to use their rotor..I would stay away from any form of points..

I went with the Pertronix ign and coil combo then had the dist recurved by a pro and did the big cap conversion. It works great and I haven't had any problems with it for about 1 year now.
If I wanted something better, I'd probably get the Digital 6 Plus from MSD because it has a built in rev limiter and starter retard. I think it's about $270. The starter retard backs up the timming during starts and this causes it to spin faster and start faster, but you can still keep you curve.
