I felt a power difference right off the bat. Looking back on it I probably should have got the one with programmable ignition timing.

Go to the MSD web site to double check what one you need, then get it from Amazon!

I actually have two vehicles with those units. My 68 bug, I bought it because I get a longer hotter spark. It gave me more power out of a small engine. With my 1988 GMC pickup, 350 engine, I got that and I installed the adaptor which allowed for me to adjust the timing in the cab. The fuel injected engine requires the dealer to time without this unit. Never had a problem with the MSD modules and they are not hard to install. I consider them a worth while expense. I think you will have even better results. When they built these units, they were targeting cars like yours.

The 40410 and the 40417 will both work on your truck as long as you have a gas engine just note if you plan to run the performance tune you will need to run premium has 93 octane or higher any other tunes should be fine with regular i have my chevy set to the tow mode with higher shoft points and firmness and usualy run mid grade gas unless the wife gets gas then she gets the cheap stuff took a 600 mile round trip just the other day and averaged around 19-20 mpg with 35 in tires

I have used Pertronix in a number of cars, including all 3 of my VWs. It will work with any coil that works with the normal points, and I usually use an original equipment grade coil available just about anywhere.

I would recommend going to junk yard and finding original equipment or going to dealership and purchasing the original equipment as opposed to trying to make this work. This could work, but I don't see it fitting or working as well as the original piece. If you need to make something to fit due to something that has been customized in engine compartment, yes - this would work just fine. This stuff can withstand a lot of heat, bends and flexes very easily. I have it attached with metal tie wrapped around an AC line near turbo exhaust. I hope this helps...

No do not it will burn the paint you need a random orbital type.This ONE IS TOO FAST too many rpms and only one direction will cause swirls ! A random orbital is mush slower and rotates in one direction! It only takes me about 40 min to do my whole truck,put the wax on a clean washed finish and then take it off with the orbital.Do get the one with the highest amperage thou.Generaly the higher amps cost a little more but it will last nuch longer than a lower amp rated one.Been doing vehicles for many years .Jack

I don't know. I only bought these years ago from an auto parts store for a 1999 Mercury Mystique in which I felt ripped off. The car ran not as smooth and harder to start. Then I put orignals platnium back in. One time I bought bosch (4028) FR7DP Platinum Plus Spark Plug( not sure the exact p/n but that style) for a 1977 chevy nova and I thought they were great, seemed to get a nice strong spark. I'm no mechanic though, just a weekend warrior who doesn't like them plugs with 4 ground style. They may be good for certain cars designed for it though.

Look for some independent testing. I found that for my application, this model produced the best hp gains. I doubt there is much real difference between the metal tube and a high quality machined plastic one. On my camaro I put the intake on first and there was a noticeable seat of the pants difference. Then I added the axle back dyno kit. My guess it the to combined added over 50hp.

Call a Chevy dealer and ask for the part number of the gm version. Then you can search/match that number to this one. That is what I did and it worked perfectly.

If it's going on a Dodge with the 6.7 cummins you will need a programmer to support the dpf removal. Sawzall and impact and you should be fine. It sounds great . Took me about 2 hours to remove old and install new

I don't know 100% but I think it will work cause on my 65 impala we thought the motor mount would be tight but when we hooked the tranny it all leveled out with the space. Hopefully this will help you.

Jason, I am using a Pertronix unit in my Marine motor (Dearborn Interceptor)which is counter rotating (Reverse Rotation) with no problems. Note the distributor rotates the same direction in both the std rotation and reverse rotation engines.

I installed this one into my 2005 impala. This radiator fits but doesn't clamp on to the cooling fans and the top hose doesn't connect to the engine properly. But once the fan is installed it holds the radiator in place pretty good. I use a hose spliter that cost about $5 and split a bottom and top hose to make a new one that fits to the engine. Ive had this setup installed for 7 months now with no problems. I spent $500 when I took it to a mechanic to install a new one, that lasted only 4 months and couldn't get a refund and I spent $175 installing this myself.

I have a chevy tracker and it works fine on my spare tire. I think it was a good investment for me.

I would check MSD'S tech sheet. I think they may have a harness for that. I used their harness to my Ford EEc distribute. It's worth the performance and fuel millage gain.

I can't speak for this on your application, but on my 2012 Chevy Cruz Turbo, I could tell a little bit difference, but I had nothing but a bad experience with the Bully Dog 40415. My car would would just all of a sudden loose power, the gauges would die, and I would have to wiggle the connector at the OBD II to get my car to run again, ultimately I'd have to re-install the tune to get my car to run right at all again. Until they can solve this issue I wold NOT recommend this item. I just this week have sent this back and purchased another type of power tuner.

Double check the specs....but I think it would do fine. It is pretty universal in its application.....I would do the "Full Monty". I'd put in a trans flush and run for an hour.....the trick is draining the torque converter. There are good YouTube videos on unhooking the lines and using the new fluid to run all the old out (my GMC held 17 qts). You can save $150 over a shop flush. I would say that you MUST evacuate all the old fluid. Just for grins....put in a pint of the additive....it REALLY smoothed mine out. Hey, this worked well for me.

Yes ,anything is better than a stock distributor. I Use the pertronix on my 56 chevy maintenance free for 15 years now
