well im on the fence
 
Im thinking of going to a distributorless ignition system.
more power no moving parts no parts to wear (only the plugs).

DAWG 11-18-2011 02:14 PM

looks like a nice system, but its still a distributor system just without a cap.i wonder how its reliability is.

i wouldnt go with i personally. seems like a Nice setup! But you are at there mercy wen it comes to replacement parts. and with businesses closing daily. say if they go out of business in 3 years. and 4 years you kill the coil or the hall effect sensor in that "distributor" then what do you do? i say go with a tried and true setup from mallory or MSD or even Accell has a dis setup.

I wouldnt bother, how hard is it really to change a cap and rotor? If it aint broken dont fix it you know?

DAWG 11-18-2011 10:55 PM

old tech and I will get better spark etc than any CDI ignition.
ill wait til summer to decide and see how more reviews go.

Get a digital box like a digital 6 plus

I'd say try it out, and if you do run into issues and cant get parts down the road, or dont like it, then just throw in the ol' cap and rotor. Who knows, maybe youll love it. Then again, it could be the biggest pile of junk ever made haha Its your money
