Thanks for the replies on the Pertronix and Mallory. I believe you on the
Pertronix;
there is definitely something going on with the Corvair application and all I
can think
of is heat.
I want an original look so maybe the Pertronix is the best way to go. I'll
check on the
Mallory as a possibility too though.
Thanks also on the spark plug comments. I'll look at this info and buy
something in the
middle range.
Thanks,
Mark Noakes
