Does anyone know if the Pertronix is considered a 'magnetic' pick up or a "Hull? Effect" pickup. I want to run an MSD multispark ignition system and I think they say they are not compatible with Hull Effect systems.
Just for reference, the term is Hall Effect.<br />Dr. Edwin Hall discovered this effect in 1879.<br /><br /><br />edited post to replace dropped 9 in date
A 'hall effect Sensor' incorporates magnets.<br /><br />Yes, the non delco pertronix uses a magnetic Hall Effect Sensor.<br /><br />Pertronix for delco distributors use optical sensors (spinning wheel).
