Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

I was experiencing some intermittent popping on hard acceleration, so I decided to install a Pertronix 1181LS. It has lobe sensing, so no ring to mount below the rotor. It took less than 20 minutes, including R&R the distributor and setting the timing. I did find out that my points mounting screws were loose, but no more popping and now it starts instantly. BTW, I drive it almost daily.
