Udo,
I am not attributing the problem to the Pertronix unit. I have had ignition 
problems with this car since day one. The reason for the Pertonix unit was that 
under acceleration at @3500 rpm the car would backfire spit and cough until I 
would back off the gas. Today I was able to run high revs  while stationary and 
it did very well it felt willing to run. I have replaced everything you can 
think of on the ignition short of the distributor itself - coil, solid core 
wires, rotor...etc.
By the way the carbs were professionally rebuilt by Jim Taylor and have been 
adjusted and tuned after installation.
