Re: procomp
I've seen the word dizzy used a lot around here, what is it?

Re: procomp
I've fixed two of my friends cars who ran these. On a detailed inspection I was dissapointed with the quality. Same with the Procomp heads.
I think their quality is a crap shoot. On a tight budget I'd do a duraspark swap, or just an ignitor install on a good rebuilt distributor.
The word "dizzy" is slang for distributor. Like "tranny" or "trans" is slang for transmission, "dif" for differential, etc. Car parts in general have way to many sylables.
For people like me who are "spelling challenged", slang works. For some, it's like nails on a chalkboard, or "wat-u-duin"...
Kind of gives a new meaning to e-bonics.

Re: procomp
Hey thanks for the input, i am REALLY dissapointed in the quality if this distributor. not so much the build design but the quality of the pickup thats in it. i think ill put it on evilbay. Sorry about the slang, i also hate the term "dizzy" but i was in a really big rush to write.
