That does sound dear at first glance, but a lot of expensive Canadian labour has gone into it, or so it is claimed on the website The Pertronix etc. are made in China by people earning a few cents an hour.... so which is better value if you excluded the profit margin of the numerous middlemen on the one hand as opposed to a small company marketing directly on the other? Entirely debatable. I have written to Mr. Winterburn and I think I shall buy one and try it on different cars, so thanks to Geoff for posting.
For your 410, I believe that a fully warm engine, at idle, with vacuum to the distributor disconnected, should be at approximately 15 to 17 degrees BTDC.
Has anyone tried one of the replacement distributors made by Pertronix?
