I just got a Pertronix rev limiter for my '90 5.0 and the instructions confused me a bit. Basically there are two ways to hook it up, what they call HEI and non-HEI. What is the Ford stock electronic ignition considered? The instructions also say HEI is a system with current limiting circuitry. So does the Ford system fall under this description? Thanks.
Rev limiter install, is Ford HEI?

Not that it has anything to do with my question, but I had two reasons. 1. People I don't particularly trust have to drive my car from time to time. By setting the limiter low I can limit the amount of trouble they will get into/damage they may do. 2. The stock Mustang's rev limiter does not kick in until 6200 rpm. A stock 5.0 produces maximum power at 4250 rpm. While I do go slightly over that at times when racing, there's no sense in letting the motor wind up another 1500 rpm or so until it hits the factory limiter if I botch a shift.
