All,
After following the on-line discussion of the Pertronix ignition system, I did some research on the web. I contacted them via their site and received a call back after some three weeks, but the rep offered the system to me for $69, i.e. $10 off the list price. Feedback from users, especially daily drivers, was unanimous...a great investment for savings in fuel economy and time. Plus, it is totally contained under the distributor cap.
The rep that assisted me, Jim, can be reached (at) 800.685.1492.
