So
Recently I destroyed my pertronix when I changed from a lucas coil - which
had served me for over 20000 miles because it was leaking - new coil - bad
pertronix - my belief is that the lucas had a build in resistor - now i am
running coil, ballast resiter (1.6 ohms) and all is fine - except for Sunday
night of course <G>
