I was interested in any information anyone had on the different ignition systems that are out there---does anyone have good or bad things to say about pertronix or compu spark thanks for any information.

We... I mean Dave, uses a compu-fire that has been in the car for 3 years now with absolutely no problems with the compu-fire coil as well. Stay away from the cheaper mag-fire units as they have failed me. Would like to step up to the compu-fire dis9 but every time I'm ready to spend the $200, somthing else more important for the car is needed. Hope this helps.

I have used a PERTRONIX unit in my Meyers Manx for at least the last 5-6 years with no problems...& also use a COMP-U-FIRE module in my sandrail where I've had no problems either..!!!!! O, yeah......& BOSCH Blue Coil's in both of them..!!!!!

Thanks for the information ---it is always helpfull to hear what kind of experience's others have had befor buying stuff. I think I will go with the compu-fire module and coil.

In my opinion nothing beats the good old reliable Bosch blue coil. It is tried and true.

Compufire and a blue coil. Standard stuff and it's not too expensive to make a spare that would be nice too!

Pertronix! They sponsor me and I love the new billet distributor and Flame thrower II. No problems so far.....

Blue coil and compufire, very proven and reliable. Just make sure the red wire goes to pos or you will instintly burn it up. Only take turning on the ignition and \"POOF\" its gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found that out the hard way when I installed one in my first buggy years ago.

I have a compufire dis-x system from compufire that just needs new wires. Anyone interested? $100 is the price
