I have been running Pertronic ignition modules in several of my cars/trucks for over twenty years.. I have never had a problem with any of them..
Like everything, one should follow the 'Directions on The Can" when installing the modules.

This has shown up on other forums with Pertronic,it seems as if a sound reliable product may have gone the "build cheaper-more profit" way in the last 1-2 years as this seems to be the time frame when problems started.MSD has been a staple in the ignition world as well but once again outsourcing has reared it's ugly head:http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...14.0.les;cpsugrpq1high..0.0...1.1.dYOL37jf4xI

I had the part that slips over the cam have casting dimples that hit the plate below. I used medium sand paper on a flat plate to hone it down just a bit.

You should, I would, call Pertronics and insist on a free replacement.
