So you keep the thunderbolt module with the new dizzy? Is the patronix unit a marine unit? Or is it just a self contained 1 wire distributor style?

Pertronix isn't going to be any better than the Thunderbolt, a pertronix is great if you are replacing points, but its not needed for the Thunderbolt . If something goes wrong with teh Thunderbolt, a pertronix distributor may be a cheaper alternative, but I prefer the Thunderbolt as it has an electronic curve, rather than mechanical. Keep the set up you have, check your total timing to make sure its coming all teh way in. The V6 boxes are the hot tip on v8s as the timing comes in faster, but I doubt you would be able to tell a differnce
