You shouldn't have any problem getting a replacement from Pertronix. They
are good about the 18 month warrantee. That collar is a real weak point the
same happened to mine. My replacement has been in over a year now though and
all is well. The new unit also had a much more compact pickup and a modified
mounting plate. I ALWAYS carry points, condensor and mounting screw with me.
being stuck on the side of the road for lack is not my idea of a good time.
But as I said a year later...I'm cruising.

Subject: Pertronix Ignitor problem
I've read a couple reports of Pertronix Ignitor failures. Well, it
happened to me.
I put the unit on last fall. No problems until Saturday night, when it
failed on a busy toll road. I was suddenly running on one or two cylinders.
Luckily, I was able to pull over to the shoulder safely. Tried swapping
coil, distributor cap and rotor first, to no avail. Finally pulled out the
Pertronix unit, at which time the little "collar" part that goes over the
distributor cam fell apart, leaving me with a pile of 6 tiny magnets.
I replaced the points (after "borrowing" a needed machine screw from the
fuse box mointing), set the gap and was underway. Glad I kept the points
and condenser in the glove box!
So, has anyone had any luck with waranty service from Pertronix? I have no
receipt.
