After talking to the tech guru at pertronix, I found out if it doesn't come in their box and have their stickers on the actual Hall effect... it's not theirs.
Interesting note about that sticker, if it's gets wrinkled, spilt, or trying to delaminate itself from the black plastic the transistor has overheated and it's likely toast.
The man also said EVERY one they have manufactured in the last 22 years is perfectly fine to run non resisted 12v to. It will not hurt them. What is not conducive is leaving the key on for extended periods of time much like a set of points, they don't like that at all.
Apparently Standard is manufacturing a knockoff of the pertronix. Oreilleys around here is marketing the thing as a pertronix. It's not. Just call one and ask if they have an lx807, and they will tell you all about it.
Not pushing the lil pertronix, just trying to remove some of the grey area about them. I build 3 fully magnetic conversions when needed so no need to use the aftermarket stuff at my place, mine all use factory parts. However as with any automotive item if you have underlying issues that need correcting, those need to be addressed before the new anything you're about to install can do any good.
If the basics aren't nailed down then the rest of it is going to be junk.
