[Healeys] Distributor guy

[warthodson at aol.com]

Jim,I have a Pertronix ignition my rebuilt Lucas distributer & I carry a spare Pertronix in the event of a failure. I have never needed to replace it in over 10 years of long road trips. I am sure it would be easier to replace a Pertronix with a Pertronix & it would be easier that replacing a Lucas with a Lucas. No points to adjust, no condenser to replace. It does not make any sense to me to try to replace a Pertronix with a Lucas at the side of the road. Gary

Just wondering, the debate between this unit and the original points has always been that you can replace the points in the event of a failure on the side of the road. How difficult is it to replace this unit in the same manner if you carried a spare, and what would the cost be for that spare? I'm referring to a1958 Bugeye here.

It's been close to 20 years ago, but Jeff rebuilt my distributor, including the vacuum advance diaphram, and put in a pertronix unit.  I'm very happy with the results.Pat Williams1960 BT7
