Re: My fresh 1965 283 with 268 Comp Camshaft
Technical question about which Pertronix to buy for points conversion.
This is my zero mile fresh Chevy 283ci engine with 0.060 over pistons and 268H flat tappet cam. Ran great on the run stand with a points distributor. I want to convert points distributor to Pertronix but don’t know which Pertronix (too many options available) would be best for a daily driver. Not gonna race or get it up above 4000 RPMs. Which Pertronix do you recommend?

 I remember saying I wasn't going to get my rebuilt 283 above 4000 rpm too.
