I use Pertronix (for the last 18 years) i my BJ8 not because of a worn =

frequently "adjust" those antique points. Also use Pertronix in me 66 =

Most folks I've run into with Pertronix ignitions use them instead of =
rebuilding their distributor properly. The Pertronix can make a worn out =
distributor run better especially if the shaft bushing is worn. =20
=20
Here's an idea, restore the distributor PROPERLY and replace worn parts. =
Use NOS ignition parts and your car will run just fine! I have a =
lifetime supply of NOS caps, rotors, points and condensers, all from =
eBay, and no more expensive than buying cheap Chinese made reproduction =
POS!
=20
Bottom line some folks use the Pertronix to mask problems with a worn =
out distributor that just needs proper servicing. Some years ago at a =
West Coast AH meetup all but two cars made it to the car show... The two =
with Pertronix ignitions that failed. Amazingly all of the properly =
restored Concours cars made it there just fine.
