[TR] Pertronix - praise#3

[Cosmo Kramer]

In this May I did a tune up at a clubbs technical secessions, using the
garagebs Sun Gauges & the help of the pro technicians in enturpiting the
readings of their Sun equipment. When I went to look under the Pertronix
distributor cap, I found fine brass filings scattered thew out, inside the
unit. I cleaned them out & installed the spare cap that I had been caring with
me. About a month later, I started having problems again in a chugging motion
to check, again, under the cap to find Al filings all over inside the unit.
(1st time was a brass cap & the 2nd time an AL cap). I asked the list for
guidance, & I wish to thank, again, you all for replying with very good
points. One, of the many replies, was to check out the advance weight springs,
but I was not able to remove the dizzy. Having fear of breaking something, I
simply swapped my Points Distributor unit back into the Garage Queen to fix
the problem that I was encoring. I then tried to contact
 Bennett French with out much success at first (thank you members again for
your help), but later received an E-mail from Mr. French stating that he was
NO LONGER in the auto business, but to state the problem that I was having &
may be he could help me. I replied in detail the symptoms, steps taken, &
problems that I had occurred. After giving him 6 weeks to reply, which he
never did in any way, I decided to contact Pertronix. Knowing that I was
beyond my 1-year warrantee, I phoned & spoke to John who stated to send the
unit back for inspection. I did so & then left for the VTR convention. A week
later I phoned & spoke to a Marvin to see if Pertronix had received the
distributor unit & had time to look at it. Marvin could not find any record of
it & stated that he would phone me back later that day with more information.
He did & stated that the problem was that one of the advance weight springs
had broken loose & would be repaired at no charge, knowing
 that I was past my one yr warrantee.
