65 Barracuda daily driver

Check out the Pertronix Ingiter II. That's what I run.

Mine starts up nearly immediately after turning the key.

Funny, when I had the single point distributor in my 318, it would fire up (when warm) instantly as soon as I made contact with the key switch. Now, with the Pertronix system, it starts up fine, but always takes about 3 spins.

There is a graph that Pertronix uses to illustrate dwell, comparing points to their pointless system, and if you look closely at the illustration, the points are shown superior at cranking speed. After that, the pointless system takes over.
