I've got a Pertronix in a 528 that is nothing, but a street car, never missed a beat.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

The designed to drive HEI bracket looks clean but I think you're better off mounting the HEI module off the engine and on a heat sink to keep it cooler.

I upgraded from a Mopar Orange Box to a GM HEI system this summer and I like the HEI's ability to ignite a leaner fuel mixture. See HEI Ignition Upgrade.

I have an orange Rev-N-nator on my Duster, and I also like the rev limit feature it has.

I have that book. a good read. I think back then that LX was American made but now it is made in china.


as far I know, Don from 4secondsflat stop making the A688 FBO module because they were made by Standard per request under his specs, but when they moved the production to China began the quality issues so he stop to produce them. Shame because they were GREAT units. Maybe my only 6 months working unit was one of those ? can't tell

Yes, that's for the new units, but I'm talking about the OLD stock look A688 unit

And there was an intermediate model called HR688 which it was the aluminium box with an HEI module hidden inside.

Having dealt with Don, I can assure you it would have been a MADE IN USA HEI module.
