Pertonix has failed and the vacuum advance is not holding, its pretty much just worn out heaps of play on the base plate. Figured i would just buy a new one but nothing will fit except for ice setup $1300 though pretty expensive.

Having had an ICE setup, the money is worth it. Great products and service.

My reliable source advised that the MSD 8578 red cap or MSD 85783 all black will fit under the shaker of a 351 Windsor. I cannot confirm, but would check the advise. Dimensions can be found on the link below which you could use to check on vehicle.

Thanks, GTLEGEND, after more investigating with my car it looks like my external voltage reg has died, Chinese copy not very old and second one to fail.

The MSD 8578 will at least need an MSD 6. it is also compatible with a 7 or 8.

Spoke to performance ignition and they were very helpful looks like rebuilding old one with electronic ignition is the go.
