For example, it seems the Pertronix would not have it, but any system that uses the point cam would. I don't see any way that the Pertronix sensor could have it built in as there are no marks on it and it just slips on the cam in any one of 4 positions. I ask, because with a well cooled motor with an external oil cooler, the #3 retard is not needed. The motor would only run smoother and make more power with no #3 retard.
