I see I forgot to clarify that the parts mentioned in my last posting 
were not purchased from The Source.

thanks,

For the unwashed, like myself, could you advise what is the difference 
between the Ignitor I and II ?   I'm a little uncertain about the 
pertronix products as the Ignitor I that I had in my van did not last a 
full year and the two high-voltage coils failed in much less time. To be 
fair, one of the coils had been dropped at the factory and never worked 
at all and was replaced but the replacement failed in about four months. 
On a side note the generic jobber coil at about twenty dollars has been 
going for the last three years and counting. Is there an alternative to 
the Pertronix for electronic ignition? Or is there an externally 
adjustable mechanical point set-up available?
