         Performance improvements over a stock GM HEI:

bullet

7500 + RPM capability, about 3000 RPM higher than 
a stock HEI.

bullet

Produces 67% more energy in the coil.

bullet

Spark breakdown time*  is 45% faster resulting in 
more accurate timing throughout the RPM range.
*The amount of time until the spark plug has enough voltage to spark.

bullet

Delivers twice the energy across the spark gap 
during a one millisecond burn time.

bullet

Increased spark duration and energy allow wider 
plug gaps (.050" - .055") increasing flame kernel growth.

bullet

Comes with two extra sets of centrifugal advance 
springs to allow you to customize your advance curve.

bullet

Adjustable Vacuum Advance lets you optimize part-throttle
performance.

bullet

Available in a fully machined finish as shown in picture for Chevy
applications.

Note:  If used with a crate engine having a roller cam or with an aftermarket billet roller cam, consult the manufacturer for drive gear requirements.

     The HEI distributors are larger in diameter than points distributors.  You must have about 1.5" clearance around your points distributor to avoid an interference when installing a PerTronix HEI distributor.

     The PerTronix HEI distributor can be used as a replacement for factory HEI units with 4 pin modules only.  It cannot be used in fuel injected engines that originally came with 7 pin modules.

Suppression-type spark plug wires required.  Do not use solid core wires.
