Tach is to net side. On the old dizzy I took the tach out completely to rule it having an impact out. I really think it's going to be a cap rotor or pickup problem. Dizzy bearings and all look good.

For those of you who don't speak Aussie, a "dizzy" is a distributor, Mate!

Re: Pertronix D241801 install
Used the under cap conversion kit rather than the full distributor replacement (because of the fit issue described in earlier posts)
So far, it has made a big difference.
The correct part number for the 318 is: 91581

Re: Pertronix D241801 install
That's really odd my ignitor 2 that came with my boat was cut like the photo. I ordered the same part number 1581 and had to cut it the same way. My thing that spins round and make fire 8 times per revolution ( assie for dizzy) has been sent to pertronix maybe they can solve the mystery.

Re: Pertronix D241801 install
My original port distributor wobbled and would not allow me to set idle below 1000 rpm. Installed pertronix dizzy but I was using wrong mark on flywheel to find tdc on #1 cylinder. Motor was backfiring and spitting fuel out of carb. Finally figured it out and now it purrs like a kitten.
