From what you've said thus far, it's looking like a case of needing a new dizzy cap; /html/mgs/2006-01/msg00022.html (8,296 bytes)

Obviously, both systems are reliable if maintained properly, but you can; /html/mgs/2006-01/msg00041.html (9,272 bytes)

That said, there is a situation where you may want to go to a Petronix: if your dizzy bushings ar; /html/mgs/2006-01/msg00042.html (8,966 bytes)

It makes sense, since they are sensing a slo; /html/mgs/2006-01/msg00058.html (9,451 bytes)

RE: Thanks for the advice- sputtering 74 MGB (score: 1): Author: "Dodd, Kelvin" <doddk@mossmotors.com>; Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 10:46:20 -0800; The Pertronix system does seem to be sensitive to shaft wear. The air gap is critical and that was one of the reasons why the very early kits had problems. The later small package kits are much bett; /html/mgs/2006-01/msg00059.html (9,894 bytes)

My 25D was severely worn at the time, and wouldn't maintain a decent point gap.

But not having to remove and replace the distributor at every tune-up probably preserved the distributor housing, and; /html/mgs/2006-01/msg00062.html (9,885 bytes)
