I'm one of those that has had crap luck with pertronics. Never again. I can change points in less than three minutes and be on my way

its always nice when it is a simple fix, simple solution! that is awesome, too bad you couldn't figure it out before you had to have it towed home, but I am sure since you said it was new it was the last thing you suspected, been there too.

on the subject of the electronic modules though, I have had the same Hot Spark module in my car for almost 9 years now. Failure and burn out of the Petronix seems to be higher than HotSpark, and related to the driver leaving the key in on position with car not running. I could say the same thing about regular points and condenser. I was stranded 2x with a failure of a condenser and fouling up of the points on this car the first year I had it, and not one failure of a Hotspark module since going that direction. I do carry an extra of both but so far have never had to replace it due to failure. And I don't have to mess with the dwell and gap etc. I also had a '69 Austin Healey back in high school and college and the only issue I ever had was with points- over and over again, just sayin! With all that said, I will be putting in my 123ignition distributor soon and it should be interesting, I have not heard of a failure of one of these yet......
