Default I think I got Pertronixed, had to get towed home.

Took the TA out for its first run of the season, got 3 blocks from home and the Engine died in gear down a small hill. Fortunately I rolled into the gas station and parked it at the edge of the lot and called for a tow truck.

I have been too busy to really check it out, but there is 12V at the coil and it did not run out of fuel. Car won’t start, even the next day after it cooled down.

I got talked into the Petronix 3 points replacement in 2015( the rev limiter was a very attractive feature). The Car did not get back on the road till last year, so not much testing, but I did read here of all the issues with electronic points replacement and wondered when” stranded at the side of the road “ was going to happen to me.

I will go back to points and condenser, any input on best product available is appreciated.
