I would like to hear from someone who has had it in their car for a longer time. I wonder how long it will last????

I can not address the current Pertronix, but have 2 in nonHEI cars for over 20 years. Both are SBC in oem distributors, never any issues. One is 64 Corvette in order to keep "Original". The other in my 34 Chevy w/over 80K, didn't think I had room for HEI. Just upgraded 34 to ZZ4 and found, I actually did have room for the HEI.
