Hi,
I have a stock 455 olds including I believe a stock distributor. When i first bought the bought a mechanic pulled the vacuum advance tube off of the distributor and told me that I do not need it. Is this true? Also I want to upgrade my ignition to possibly MSD the main reason being to get a rev limiter as well as possible better performance. Will I get better performance?
Also: Does anybody have any components for a 455 olds ignition upgrade to achieve what I mentioned above.
Thanks,
Dennis
Pertronix makes a kit to convert a stock GM points ignition to electronic and it works fantastic. I run one in my Cutlass. You can put an MSD box on any ignition, and you should see an improvement in drivability.
