I put in a 59 dizzy with a Petronix kit [new] and had no end of trouble, intermitant spark .. then no spark, missing. I am sure it had a lot to do with the breaker plate lifting anyway after enough stuffing around I put the old points back and shes running sweet..Its a shame you could really see the difference in spark between the old points and Petronix, is there a better coil that would improve spark on ponits ?

At the same time I put on a B manifold with a 600 Holley [second hand came with car when it left the US] replacing the old teapot. but I cant get any idle adjustment, I checked the power valve and it looked fine I could suck it and hold it ..?? what other things could I try.

Can someone give me tune up specs to start, Im mainly after what should be a good ignition curve,dwell ect ... Is the vacuum unit adjustable??

Cheers!
