I've had several pertro
Ix unit... All worked great! Then I bought the new 5.0 liter long
block for the Tiger. I didn't have a Ford dizzy handy to install a
module so I ordered up a brand new billet Pertronix (non-vacuum)
complete unit. I was quite surprised when it arrived with a Chevy
cap!! It's still on the car!!
I guess they come that way regardless of application. :(
