Greg,
You should not have had that much change with the Ignitor unit. I have had
few customers order a kit from me and then provide similar information about
the timing and poor running. After checking again it turns out they thought
they had one distributor in there, but really had a different one. There are
about 15 different Pertronix kits for the Lucas Distributors and if the wrong
kit is installed the car will not run correctly.

I
took the points out, installed the igniter parts (didn't move the
distributor at
all) and the timing was so far advanced it wouldn't start and would hardly
turn
over. I ended up having to move the oil cooler line a bit to get enough
rotation on the distributor to get the timing back where it belongs. I
thought
maybe the magnets in the ring were positioned a little off or something.
Anyone else have this problem? Once I got it timed it seems to run and work
fine. Just doesn't seem like I should have had to turn the distributor
halfway
to the next contact to get the timing back!
