Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 Hmmm....ok. It's just that someone mentioned Pertronix to me a while back and said It was the same thing as MSD but much easier to conceal. I just wanted to make sure what you guys are talking about is related to what I heard . Maybe someone can chime in? Pertronix makes three versions; 1 is just a points replacement, 2 also adjusts the advance, and Pertronix 3 is MSD but it all resides under the dizzy cap. If you rely on the coil (points side) as a tach input it can give you a glitzy input. If you are going to the FiTech EFI they claim that both the 2 and 3 are trouble. Neither the Pertronix 2 or 3 have a separate tach output, and FiTech prefers a two wire magnetic pickup in the dizzy for a clean tach input. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 I am also currently installing an MSD box and distributor. I have relocated the battery to the trunk. I have mounted the MSD box together with the control unit for the electric fan on the battery tray. Then I have built a steel box the same size as the battery on top of which I will put a fake battery top. I will have battery leads on the “battery†so it will take a very trained eye to see its all fake. I also have holes on the back side of the box and in the front for ventilation.
