Ron:
I doubt Pertronix would do a free exchange, as my curfrent unit is
working fine, but maybe worth a try. As I have an extra Pertronix module
and plate, I think I'll just take it to some junk yards tomorrow and see
if it would work.
Thanks for the info. on the two types of dual point distributors. I'm
heading out to look at mine right now.
