The last time I had a Pertronic’s in my car it was making my coil get excessively hot and the spark output could only sustain the motor to 1500 rpm and that was with a light load only.

I never revisited it after that Steve and gave up on it.

However I did send the new unit back to Pertronix and they again said they found something wrong with it (don't remember but they did send a test sheet to explain which is wrapped up in the box) So they did send out yet another brand new Pertronix setup for the 3rd time without question. So I can't complain about the customer service.

That new unit still sits in it's box on the shelf to this day I just wasn't going to install it again.

The vette did continue to run fine for years though, the Pontiac just didn't like it.
