OK, took the newly rebuilt Cleveland back the the builder last night because I can get her timed properly. He (actually there were 4 guys gathered around) swore a bit and unplugged a couple of the vacuum hoses) and tried to adjust the dizzy with poor results. Looked at the points and swore a bit more, took a file to them and tried to adjust the gap. The 351 ran a bit better but couldn't get a decent spark. He said the dizzy was shot and I said I was thinking about a Pertronix II and he said that sounded good.
I reread most of the dizzy threads and have narrowed it down to either a Pertronix II or an MSD. I'll be doing burnouts and driving the vert as often as possible, and take it to the strip a couple of times. I'm gonna take a break from auto mechanics after the engine rebuild and mostly work on washing and waxing, so the engine guy will be doing all the work. What do you guys think? MSD or Pertronix?
