Rock-steady reliability
Dwell and timing are always spot-on accurate
Increased gas mileage, fuel economy guaranteed
Quick starting
Smooth idling
Cleaner emissions
Longer spark plug life
Longer engine life
Cleaner engine oil due to less unburned fuel
No points to wear, burn, pit or corrode
No condenser needed
Absolutely no points float - zero - even at redline RPM and beyond!
Never worry about drifting dwell or timing again
No rubbing parts - nothing to wear out!
Stealth modification - maintains stock appearance
Encased in high-temp thermoplastic - protected from the elements and oil, grease, dirt, water, etc.
