[Healeys] Petronix

[Tom Felts]

Ditto--------!!  I have carried a spare Pertronix around with me for the
last 6/7 years.  It will probably rust out before I ever need it.  I keep
telling people about the positives of this thing.  Some listen some don't. 
But--my cars have never ran so good since I installed it---and no more
messing with points.
