Like I said, I've actually USED multiple complete billet units and can attest to the performance. Both with a carb and EFI. I have one in my car now that has been there since day one and never given me an issue. I routinely wind the hell out of my engine, shifting at 6K ALL THE TIME and have NEVER had even the hint of a miss, etc. I can also vouch for the rev limiting function too.I've read terrible reviews of the Pertronix III dizzy used in Mustangs. Can't keep timing, sloppy distributor, etc. Just a warning.
Midlife maybe correct on the PIII. We installed one on a 1972 351C. I will need to contact with my friend to see how it is running.I've read terrible reviews of the Pertronix III dizzy used in Mustangs. Can't keep timing, sloppy distributor, etc. Just a warning.

There is a reason so many people use Pertronix stuff across lots of brands/makes of classic cars. A bazillion years ago when the first electronic conversion stuff first came out there were some issues with electronic failures but not the actual performance when operating. That's old news these days. Nothing is perfect but as far as quality goes I'd rank them among the top.
Another thing I like is that you can buy just the module itself that goes in the distributor for about $100 (maybe less) that takes literally a couple minutes to swap out if it should ever fail. I've got one collecting dust in a kit I used to carry in the car when I first started driving it, in case of issue. That was three years ago.
Internet reviews are usually about as valuable as my mother-in-laws advice, if you ask me. For example, you can find hundreds of guys bashing 6AL boxes if you want to look. Doesn't matter that there are likely a million guys out there swearing by them too. Like any hobby there are plenty of idiots out there without a clue of what they are doing that install parts wrong or mismatch crap and then run to their computers to tell everyone how much shit some companies part happens to be.
