The point about ignition (detonation is a bad word here) at the optimal moment is mute because the pertronix has nothing to do wit; /html/spridgets/1998-10/msg00894.html (11,174 bytes)

27. Re: Electronic Ignition (score: 1): Author: Daniel1312@aol.com; Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 18:06:57 EST; I can't see how indexing the plugs would help. If you want an earlier spark you just advance the timing. Does it matter where the flame kernal starts? Surely it is the speed of the burn that counts?; /html/spridgets/1998-10/msg00906.html (8,387 bytes)

The switch is a lot more precise than the cam-lifting-the-points-open timing. Most noticeably, old distributors get loose bushings and uneven points cams.
