Been running a petronix one for 3 years with no problems whatsoever. Have had problems with the Accu-Fire version, but it was down to the wrong
selection of coil!
Cheers

I've had a Pertronix for a couple of years with no probs. I got it for a good price from the US. I put the details on recently so a search should
find it, if you're interested.
(Or you could wait for the Free Trade Agreement and get it for free! :P:P:P)
