RE: 59 Distrib Swap

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
You might want to give them a call.  It came factory set with a rev 
limit of 5,500 and I did not change it.  All I can say is that it pulls 
fine to 5,500.

I had the full setup to go on my 63, electronic Mopar ignition and MSD 
rev limiter, the more I looked around the less I wanted it under my 
hood.  The Pertronix only has two wires.

Not the place to ask but what do you have in your 56 Hemi and where did 
you get the parts?  I have a 54 331 that has been in the garage too long 
and needs to be built.  I was thinking about calling Hot Heads.  If you 
have any thoughts or recommendations for me it would be better to send 
them direct.  ply(at)sbcglobal.net
Thanks
