Ditto--------!! I have carried a spare Pertronix around with me for the
last 6/7 years. It will probably rust out before I ever need it. I keep
telling people about the positives of this thing. Some listen some don't.
But--my cars have never ran so good since I installed it---and no more
messing with points.
