I use Pertronix (for the last 18 years) i my BJ8 not because of a worn dist,
but because it makes the car run far better. And--I dont have to frequently
"adjust" those antique points. Also use Pertronix in me 66 E-type. Have for
years. Wouldn't leave home without it.tom

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Distributor guy
Most folks I've run into with Pertronix ignitions use them instead of
rebuilding their distributor properly. The Pertronix can make a worn out
distributor run better especially if the shaft bushing is worn.
Here's an idea, restore the distributor PROPERLY and replace worn parts. Use
NOS ignition parts and your car will run just fine! I have a lifetime supply of
NOS caps, rotors, points and condensers, all from eBay, and no more expensive
than buying cheap Chinese made reproduction POS!
Bottom line some folks use the Pertronix to mask problems with a worn out
distributor that just needs proper servicing. Some years ago at a West Coast AH
meetup all but two cars made it to the car show... The two with Pertronix
ignitions that failed. Amazingly all of the properly restored Concours cars
made it there just fine.

the distributor.Best--Michael Oritt
