Greg,
I used to have to adjust my points frequently in my '76 TR6. Even after
changing everything out but the dist itself.
In December of last year, I installed a Pertronix, and never looked
back. Set and forget. :) Great system if you ask me, and you cant beat
the convenience for the price.
I installed mine with one of the Pertronix coils, thinking I HAD to. But
there was a discussion recently... on either the British Car Forum, or
6-Pack's web site... which mentioned that you didnt have to do that, and a
standard Lucus coil worked fine. I have yet to try that though, since this
coil I have is working fine and dandy!
