Please Welcome: DUI Performance Distributors
Biography: The Davis Unified Ignition distributor for Chrysler 318-, 340-, and 360ci V-8 engines is a complete ignition system void of external or add-on electronic controls, but loaded with high-performance features. Based on a GM HEI distributor, the DUI unit boasts a performance Dyna Module ignition module with a longer-than-stock dwell time, an ignition curve specific to each particular Mopar V-8 engine, and a 50,000-volt internal coil. Installation is simple because the DUI distributor is powered by a single 12-volt wire. Additionally, the DUI sparker, in Street/Strip trim, is capable of efficient spark production and controls as much as 7,000 rpm, provides enhanced throttle response, and eliminates the oft-problematic OE Chrysler ballast resistor, thus delivering maximum reliability.
The Performance: A 15hp gain is typically realized on stock engines; as much as a 40hp boost can be experienced on modified powerplants.
