I'm talking hard miles, too; just got back from a 3,106 mile road trip through the Southwest. I did get passed by a McLaren and a Ferrari Scuderia, but can't blame my ignition for that.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If you're thinking the noise in the copper wires could affect the Pertronix, I suppose it's possible but I believe the internals are fairly simple and robust (probably a Hall-Effect switch and a power transistor).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Bob<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><br><div><br></div>

<div>You must not use steel core wires with a Pertronix ignition. It can cause
intermittent miss fires in ignition. You will need to install a TR6 distributor
car and carbon wires.</div>
