    The difference is one uses a DIS Pack and the other uses a distributor to feed the spark plugs (Mr Obvious).

    The DIS Pack is the better system to have. It will generate a better more constant spark. The problem with a distributor is that there are alot of bits and pieces between the coil and the spark plug. It's fine when it's working correctly but there are many parts to fail or wear out. I doubt that there is a performance difference between the two when both systems are working 100%

    No idea, just out of all the standard engines ive driven the early dizzy engines always seam to out-do the later coil packs.

    well i would say the reason for that is that the earlier dizzy engines are all pre cat model, well nearly all and there for didnt have to pass the strick emissions, so there by could be tuned for more power because of this. could be wrong though

    And an older engine wont pull aswell as a newer engine for a start. More wear.

    older engines actually tend to produce alightly more power anyway
