Stromberg e-fire worth it?
I have read the comments on here regarding the new Stromberg e-fire distributor. Any other comments? Sounds like they can be adjusted/re-curved if need be. Is the quality there? I have heard both good & bad. Wondering if it would even be a alternative to a stock 2-bolt crab in that it is re-curvable or able to get more total advance? I probably wouldn't use it to replace a bone stock dist. on a stock engine, but what about in place of a Mallory or other non-vacuum adjustable (brake or advance). Yes, I have read Bubba's comments on these, but was wondering if anybody has worked on one of 'em yet?

Go ahead; buy it. You know you want to! Somebody has got to be the first one to experiment with new releases of speed equipment; it can be you this time!

Re: Stromberg e-fire worth it?
Like tub man said just buy it ....
I have had a few of these in for what ever reason (mostly blown module based on incorrect coil ) i dont think i have bad mouthed the unit as it does fill a need for those wanting a electronic unit . Just make sure you use a coil with some resistance in it , i suggest the Bosch Blue # 00012 and then no resistor is needed . for 12 volt apps etc..... Hee a picture of the advance unit and it is very adjustable just using a couple allen bolts thru a hole in breaker plate . In most case you may want less advance not more , the max is approx 11 degrees or 22 degrees engine....... Note the springs are adjustable by bending the spring arm . This unit is VERY adjustable !!!!!! |

What would be the difference over the MSD unit, I have two of them one a ready to run and the other drives the 7al series IGN unit on the dragster, the ready to run unit is just in the drawer.
