Not sure if its true or not but rumours at one time said that's what Don at FBO was using but he had to go a different direction when they changed who made them. I have tried several over the counter control units with no luck. I was thinking there would be something decent without a rev limiter bit have had no luck. Keith www.dunnuckracing.com

I bought one the other day & to my dismay it said made in china in big bold letters. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

If you have an ignition that pulls dwell,tune around it,then change to a system with a better dwell curve you will need to change things... Not sure I understand what you mean, can you please explain? Martin, 67 Charger, 512 cui, E85, MegaSquirt MS3X sequential ignition & injection

A big gap gave short dwell,A small gap gave larger dwell. Then we went to an ignition control module to open and close the circuit without points that would wear. Most ICU s have a set dwell period. If the dwell falls off due to electronics not being able to control it,timing also falls off as dwell directly affects timing . If you ignition was to pull timing at a certain rpm,most likely a tuner would try to compensate by adding mechanical or vacuum advance . Now you unplug that ignition and plug in a new one that does not pull out dwell(timing) and it acts like you have added more total timing at that point. Thats why we need to recheck timing with different boxes Reverse polarity on an MSD systems pick-up coil sometime and watch www.dunnuckracing.com

These are tough threads to follow. Keith, could you please list your preference in regards to all these different systems? The rev limiter aside, where do you place the rev-n-ator among the plug and pray chrysler boxes? Please. I can't afford this. mark

I swapped both at the same time. i thought i had read that too but i wasn't sure if it came from Keith doing an actual dyno run or if it came posters saying they were using one. i was also curious about any e-coil testing.

There really should be no mystery here.

I actually had my best results with a Mallory Promaster 29440. Troy is supposed to be sending some coils my way to test as well as a new upgraded version of the Rev N Nator that should take care of the issues you guys are describing. Keith www.dunnuckracing.com

I have been trying to find a box that performs as well without a limiter with no luck yet. I ran a Chrome box for several years along with an add on limiter but the cost of the two now is at least as much as a Rev N Nator and doesn't perform as well. Keith www.dunnuckracing.com

I just wanted opinions about how it held up to other ignition systems. I chose the GM HEI because I have read good things about that particular modification. Gotta be careful about where I spend the bucks. Not too much to go around these days.
