A highway patrolman stopped and repaired it with super glue and a rubber band. I limped home 15 miles – put on another rotor and kept a spare for safety and the repaired one in the parcel shelve for memories. Try that with a Pertronix unit  John Simswww.healey6.comMatawan, NJ  From: Healeys <healeys-bounces at autox.team.net> On Behalf Of Jim Ryan

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Distributor guy  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_______________________________________________
