Chevy V8 12 Degree PART #701000
Ive always used the 12 degree built in advance versions
no simpler, or easier to use ignition exists in my opinion,
you lube the distributor gear, drop the distributor into the engine, set the distributor clamp so its movement or rotation is restricted and takes some effort to turn, connect a toggle switch to a wire from the kill switch knob( "P" terminal )on the side of the magneto thru , an insulated toggle switch to an excellent common engine and frame ground, , throw the switch too the open position, and with your timing light ,set the timing, so the ignition timings at full advance at about 3200rpm, and lock it in place. throw the switch to the closed position, connecting the (P) connector to engine ground and the ignition dies.
to start the engine simply through the switch to the open position so the grounds not electrically connected and hit the starter button, on the floor or use the ignition to start the starter, the vertex needs no further electrical connection, no battery and the car will run with a nearly dead battery if its just strong enough to spin it over.
you don,t need to control a vertex style MAGNETO, with a CPU or need vacuum, once its set up and installed correctly, it is easy to tune and it advances exactly as you set it up depending only on the engine rpms for its advance curve, your single connection goes to a single switch that opens and closes a connection to the engine ground, if its grounded its not providing spark, if the connections open you get spark at the plugs
The "P" terminal on the Vertex is for
the ground wire to cut off ignition.
NEVER ATTACH A LIVE WIRE TO
THIS TERMINAL

you can frequently find good deals on these in good USED condition, but VERIFY it works before buying a USED ONE, if you can
