[AT] Pertronix ignition (was Re: (no subject)

[Richard Fink Sr]

Mike the factory did call me back and said [in short] if the dealer 
wants to swap it out for an other it is ok with us. We don't know 
what is wrong with it.So it appears i wait for dealer to get back to 
me. Then maybe 3 days there and 3 back to try another one. I would 
never tell any one to buy one of them with service like that. It is 
not like i have never seen a distributor before or set timing on one, 
But on the 8n there is no setting it is in or out 180 %.
