Johnnie,
I installed Pertronix in my 4A last year, and have had no problems with it.
Timing it was very easy - follow the book method for lining up the rotor
with #1 tube, then fine tune. I find using a strobe is worthless since the
advance weights start providing advance at a very low RPM, so I get it close
then adjust by ear. Starts first time every time, idles beautifully, and
pulls great right thru 5000 RPM.
Make sure the PCV valve is in place and the oil filler cap is on tight.
These really affect idle RPM.

I just installed a Pertronix in my TR4A. So, is the timing process any
different for an electronic ignition?
