Rev....

CD (Capacitive Discharge) Like a MSD 6 (or above),Mallory Hyfire 7 or above,accel 300+,jacobs omnipak so on and so on.... Anyway the deal is the the stock or semi stock setup like he has is Inductive Discharge The differences are at idle and low rpm (in this case anything less than about 4000)the inductive works well but your spark get weaker the higher you rev while in a Capacitive the higher you rev the better spark you get(in theory). What happens is The inductive just has a trigger (in his case the pertronix) and the coil can only saturate for milliseconds once you start to turn higher revs in a capacitive system there are capcitors (hence the name) that store up voltage to send to the coil between sparks so that you coil gets full voltage fast enough to saturate correctly. Also if your coil isn't designed for a CD system you can expect a short life out of it when it is hooked up to cd box.
