I bought one of these kits for my Midget, fitted it and never looked back. I had to fiddle with the timing a little but that was it. Great value for money and work very well
Tor said:Rockdemon, I've been thoroughly confused about this myself. Some say the electronic module should have an unballasted coil, others say it'll work fine regardless. Those claiming the former either bypass the resistor, or replace the coil AND bypass the resistor because the module is said to work best with a hi-perfomance or electronic-dedicated coil. So in the end I've gone for just that and ordered a Pertronix kit with a chrome FlameThrower coil, since the manufacturer recommends the pair, and it's just arrived.
I've got lumenition on mine. To be honest i've been concentrating on other things so havent checked the circuit that is in use. I'd expect again with lumenition that the higher powered coil will give an improvement....

The Flame Thrower coil packaging says something interesting, that the higher current allows an increased spark plug gap for increased power and economy... I'm sure I can read about it in tuning books and such, but has anyone tried this on a stock V8?
