Dear Listers,
In response to the concern over the Pertronix ignition setup, I've had mine
running for three years without problems, but only after getting a good one
installed! The first one caused me huge problems with misfires, etc. I never
diagnosed what the problem was exactly. I just replaced it with my buddy's
Ignitor, which was known to work OK, and it cured all my problems. I sent it
back to Summit Racing (BTW, $75 or so, not $95 like Moss) for a replacement,
and all has been well with it ever since. I swear by it, because points are
a pain in the butt.

Note, I forgot to mention that I have a Pertronix Ignitor installed (sorry,
Dave... can't do the points thing). It seems over Thursday evening the
problem cured itself, I drove all the way out to Power British and heard the
shreek of "you have an Ignitor installed..." seems I'm hearing that a lot!
I have no idea what possessed me to install it. It will be uninstalled
shortly, in favour of an MSD unit.
Haven't had any reoccurance of the unwillingness to run since Thursday
evening. Like I said, Friday it started and ran fine like nothing was
wrong.... today too, and tomorrow I hope as well.
Cheers and thanks to all who replied,
