Joe,
Anything is possible, but these units had functioned well for a few years
before the failures. One or more of them had a "sport coil" but nothing
special other than that. replacing the Pertronics with either points or a
new unit made the problem go away. So it was the Pertronics itself that
went bad. There is not much else that can be improper about an installation
other than wire polarity and the coil.
