Hi Guys,
As a  present owner of  Pertronix assisted cars can you guys give us a
little more info. on  possible things that may have caused your units to go
out.  Were you all just driving merrily down the road and  suddenly
backfireing and shuddering occured. Or did something short out and cause
these things to malfunction?  How many miles did they have on them? Were
these all the exact same type of units?  How about the warrantee coverage?

These units seemed like a great way to turn considering the expense of
buying a new distributor or rebushing the old one.  Now I'm having second
thoughts.
                        Thanks,     Mark
