I have a Pertronix distributor on the 440 in my Coronet and it works great. I checked the advance curve and it was already set up for a 440 per Ebergs article in Mopar Action. You don't need the MSD with this dist, it has the proven Pertronix module in it. I also have the 60,000 volt Pertronix "Flame Thrower" coil. The engine starts quickly with the setup. It is a vacuum advance dist. My fuel economy went up dramatically after hooking up the vacuum canister. Highly recommended for a street motor imo...




I dont recommend the Pertronix. I had bad results with it. I did back to back to back tests comparing the pertronix dizzy with my FBO dizzy and FBO box. With the pertronix the car would not idle correctly. Same timing both dizzys, no answer from pertronix as to why, although they did recommend different things to try (coil, direct 12v power feed, ect). Pop the FBO one back in and use its box, and car would idle perfect.

Plus the Pertronix you will need to grind on the head for it to fit (stock head).
