cap and rotor replacement

[Dave L.]

I ordered an Edelbrock 2101 intake today from Summit. Since I have the distributor out I thought I would replace the cap,rotor and maybe coil depending on your suggestions. My engine is stock except for dual exhaust,the new intake and deleted egr and other emission related items. I was leaning towards the stock AC-Delco cap and rotor. Would a performance cap-rotor and perhaps a coil from l Accel or some other outfit be a waste of money? What do you guys think?
thanks in advance................................Dave

Dave,

I could not tell if the new 50K volts coil made any difference. It would make a good test setting at the chassis dyno, though.

Nevertheless, my gut feeling is that a noticeable difference is not really achieved until one upgrades to a multi-spark controller.

Reliability?? perhaps, fuel econonomy??? quite possible; (and I don't mean to lure anyone into that old debate). However, power increase I would be very doubtful that the 50K volts coil could provide that.

Thanks Gerry. I think I will just go with the standard AC-Delco cap and rotor.
