<p class="MsoNormal">The advantage with Pertonix over 123 is
the advance curves are retained and also if your pertronix
does fry, keeping points in the boot is easy for a backup.
I have a 123 in my A90 and I keep a full lucas dizzy with
attached cam driveshaft in the boot, just in case. Call me
strange.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Agree across-the-board. Had same

re: "Strongly suggested I install points instead
of the Petronics." Why? Does he recommend
blood-letting and trepanning for headaches? I
know Jeff is an acknowledged expert, but disagree
with the points recommendation. Name a modern
manufacturer--they of the 100K mile tuneups--that
recommends points? Have (probably) 80K miles on
Pertronix--with OEM Lucas cap and stranded
wires--with no ignition issues (save the
occasional well-known bad rotor). If you like
changing points every 5K miles, fine, but it's not
the solution to every ignition problem.<br>
<br>
You need: OEM Lucas distributor cap (if you can
find one), stranded copper wire secondary wires,
OEM Lucas suppressor plug caps, good plugs, and a
quality rotor.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Took the BJ8 out today.
Changed the plug wire to #6 (there was a
visible spark last night). The car
struggled big time Had to change rotors
every 3 miles in order to get the car home.
Driving along and all of a sudden backfire,
black smoke, nothing. Changed the rotor (it
was noticeably hot) and got another 2 or 3
miles out of it. Looked tonight in the dark
and the visible spark from number 6 plug was
not there. Talked to Jeff with Advanced
Distributors and he suggested it was plug
wires. Strongly suggested I install points
instead of the Petronics. At his
suggestion, I checked the ohm reading on the
plug wires and they checked out OK. Still
wondering if it could be bad gas, I did add
a product called “Heat.” Supposed to absorb
any water that may be in the gas tank. Not
much help, so far.<br>
<br>
I’m waiting for the plug wires and
distributor cap from Moss Motors to show up
to install them. Hope that helps but not
really convinced it’s the solution.<br>
<br>
Do you guys have any words of wisdom for me?<br>
