    Ignition decision

     



    Found an older accel dual point distributor to fit in my 351 cleveland with the dual four barrel intake. Thinkin' bout converting it to pertronix. Any you guys and gals tried this before? I've never run dual Holleys before and this could be a good learning experience. Think the conversion could help make tuning less troublesome?

    I've never tried it on a dual point distributor, but have on my 390 single point and love it. works great. Makes tuning a lot easier.

    I converted the Mallory dual point on my Mustang and the stock dist on my 73 F100 to petronix. Best decision I've made in a while. Also used their coils. Can't beat it for the price.

    I think I would try the Petronix, keeping dual 4's synchronized and tuned is plenty of headache anyhow !!!
