HI fellars

have a problem with my patrol missing every now and then wasn't that worryed but it give me the shits. but in the last couple of weeks it wouldn't start would play around with some wires and then it would go. so I thought I had a bad join some where. cracked the shits and put the old points in and is running better that it has in ages . should i get anougher pertronix just run points or I have heared a vl comador ingition will fit with small change or just stick with the points. By the way the TB42 is Turboed but i am running a I.C.E ignition module.

Petronix are known to shit themselves especally when high voltage (more than stock) is done. Mate put a 60,000 volt coil on and it blew up outside my house when he tried to leave one day (the petronix blew not the coil)

I ran the crane cam fireball XR700 Optical setup, never missed a beat, loved water and i had 60,000 volt coil and it make it even better
