Bronze drive gear

Hi '427

We too are going to use a Pertronix III unit but hidden in the standard dizzy.

As a matter of fact the III is hard to come by over here but I like the rev limiter feature they have.

Totally agree about the cap fitting so will decide before we change the dizzy gear whether or not to change to the full system

cheers

If you do go with the Pertronix distributor with the Chevrolet cap. Beware of clearance issues between the burp tank and the screw "ears" on the cap. I am using a Kirkham burp tank and it mount flush with the intake. The Ford "tin" burp tanks have like a 1/4 - 3/8 spacer.

My Pertronix cap does hit the Kirkham burp tank so I have to be careful setting up the timing. It limits how far I can twist the distributor back and forth. Right now I have it setup so it is timed correctly without the distributor cap contacting the burp tank.

Thanks

All good info, we are sticking as much as possible to the original (SC) look

Our kit (Crendon) requires a spacer to tip the tank forward slightly so might do the trick for the dizzy as well.
