I have the Summit dizzy on my car, no problems with it yet, I have only ever had great service from Summit, so hopefully the stuff they put their name on it good too.

UPDATE on Summit Dizzy

I was have been having some misfiring issues at the higher RPMs and have been trying to figure it out. I thought is was something in my tuning but I could not find the problem there. After doing some searching and reading about PIP problems, I decided to swap my stock dizzy back in. The problem went away completely and the engine runs smoother. The Summit dizzy only had maybe 1000 miles on it.

This is not the first quality issue I have had with Summit branded stuff. I get great service from Summit but I think I will stay away from their Summit brand stuff.

For some reason it doesn't seem to matter what brand it is, they all suck. The original design seems to the best. I've seen 8 second cars with stock distributers in them, so I can't see it being a problem for anyone on this website. I've had a rebuilt OEM distributer from Advance for 5 years now. No problems yet.

I've been running an Accel Billetech distributor this year and so far it's working well, the part number is Accel 60201R

I got it for less than a stock replacement so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'd heard too many bad reviews on the MSD so I steered clear, didn't know Summit even made their own brand.

I've been pretty pleased with Accel products.

Summit dizzy

I think my PIP is crapping out and was thinking of getting the summit distributor. It looks really nice and for a great price too. Anybody have one or heard anything about them?

I have a summit dizzy (SUM-850410) in my 95 331 stroker and it has been working flawlessly for 18 months,
