[Mgs] Pertronix and overheating in MGA

[W. David Houser]

Listers,
The engine was way too far advanced
Many thanks for the responses. The results of the timing check are as  
follows: The previous setting was 20 degrees BTDC at low idle and with  
vacuum off and plugged. The new reading after Pertronix was 30  
degrees, and performed the same way. The dwell was also a surprise.  
The dwell meter had been bench calibrated. The Pertronix dwell was  
only 40 degrees, versus the desired 60. Pertronix has not yet responded.
