Higher voltage also allows a larger gap and increased likelihood of firing 
a less-than-perfect mixture. Is part of the reason for electronic and "High 
energy" ignitions. (When GM first introduced the HEI, they recommended a 
.060" gap and everything that could arc- did. They later reduced the 
recommended gap to .045" and only went back to .060" with the multicoil 
distributerless ignitions.

Part of reason for Pertronic Ignitor II was to allow a hotter than stock 
coil if necessary, may be the next attempt.

I really like Rapidfire Platinums, have then in all my other cars. Too bad 
they do not have one for a Corvair.
