[Healeys] Pertronix in 100

[Bob Spidell <bspidell@comcast.net>]

I just installed a Pertronix Ignitor in our BN2. At first, I thought we were 
missing a component because the kit didn't come with the embedded magnet collar 
like the one in my BJ8. Turns out the unit doesn't require the magnet collar 
(and there probably wasn't enough room between the Ignitor and the points cam 
for one anyway). However, the unit worked just fine. This is impressive 
engineering; apparently, just the squarish shape of the cam is enough to 
trigger the sensor. As usual, after a timing reset the engine ran fine and 
seemed smoother at idle and lower speeds. Also, an 'aftermarket' points set for 
a 100M distributor is $26.25 from Moss so at about $95 the Ignitor should pay 
for itself over time. Hats off to the Pertronix people. 

Happy Holidays to all in Healeyland.
