Never had a Pertronix unit go half bad. They always just fail. That's
why you always save the points; just in case. Like Steve said, go back to
points and see if it starts.

Don,
My Pertronix experience is if you ever turn the ignition on and leave it on
for a few moments but do not start the engine, the unit fries itself. Put
points back in and see if it'll run, then you'll know.
Good luck,

Subject: [Vintage-race] Pertronix
I am wondering if anyone has had experience with Pertronix ignition. I
installed one on an old Ford tractor last year and it worked a treat until
yesterday. Now I have a yellow spark where there was once a blue one and it
will not start.
Can the Pertronix unit do this? Most electronic devices either work or they
don't.
Any input appreciated
Don
