Hi,
You guys have scared me so bad with talk of pertronix units failing that
I decided to carry a spare.
It's not THAT expensive to carry a spare Pertronix. A lot easier to
change than putting in points. Two nuts & two wire plugs & it is changed.
BTW - My Pert. is going on three years without a stutter. I doubt if
I'll ever need the spare.
