Am assuming 'pertronics 11' is a dual 'point' kit?
Anyway, the last Lister that had this problem (maybe it was on the Forum)
didn't have the Pertronix grounded. Pertronix switchers aren't grounded through
the distributor--you need a separate ground lead (I like to use the white/black
wire that goes to the master cutoff switch--but you have to move the terminal
to the same terminal as the battery ground).

Did you put the plastic rotor on the dist. cam?
Also, check your timing, I notice sometimes these kits put timing off
by as much as 30 deg, so you need to re-time the ignition, that should
fix it.
