It was when the old Hemi six in the Spaghetti Jet began spluttering, fouling plugs and refusing to play ball (even after a careful tune and a ride on the gas analyser) that I knew the money I’d already spent on it was going to be wasted if I didn’t get a proper ignition system into it quick smart. When it was running, it was fair dinkum galloping; tons of torque and a real desire to rev out (not to mention a stupidly lopey idle to keep a dimwit like me entertained at every set of lights).
Experience has taught me that you don’t mess about with cheap and nasty imports with this stuff, and racing HQ Holdens years ago led me to the offices of Performance Ignition Services, an Aussie-owned business that has been setting compressed air and petrol on fire for decades. In fact, my old HQ racer was a right pig of a thing when we first shook it down, and my crew-chief brother made it very clear to me what the problem was and what I should do about it. So off to Performance Ignition I trudged to swap money for a device that will be utterly familiar to anybody
