Yes! btdt. If you lift the ring off now, you'll see that you probably
shaved off a bit of the plastic inside grooves, inside the ring.
Clean them out and it'll probably still go right back on.. now that you've
'clearanced' it :-)
Believe it or not... Whitey, my '75 Spitfire, still has an original Perlux
labeled unit in it. Perlux was the name of the company before a group
of their engineers bought the division and renamed it Pertronix.
The only Pertronix unit I ever had trouble with, was the fault of the
installer. Me :-)

Subject: Re: Pertronix and D200 dists
Interesting thread... I'm on my second Pertronix unit (1149C) as the first
one I purchased was sold with the last car I put it on. I love those things!
But this time around, I really had trouble getting the magnetic ring seated,
and actually had to use an open socket and mallet to press it into place. It
shouldn't have been that difficult. I noticed at a later time that the
advance vernier no longer seemed to be changing the timing. I'm wondering if
that ring was so tight, and I bashed it down hard enough, to lock the plates
together. Is that possible?
