I will NEVER go back to points,the change in running and starting was HUGE. . I know dozens of LBC owners and the only bad thing anyone says about the Pertronix is it TOO can fail, so they recommend carrying a spare (just as you would points) just in case . . .
I had trouble when I put in my Pert' .....
I had an "expert" who'd told me what dizzy I had and ordered the Pert' accordingly. I'll save the details but after MUCH grief I finally pulled the dizzy and found the model stamp and lo!!! The "expert" was wrong and I'd ordered the wrong Pert'. It fit but was not the right one.
Pert' folks were VERY accommodating and let me exchange. After putting the CORRECT one in .... BAM ... good to go. I replaced all wires, coil, plugs, cap and rotor at the same time . . .
***********************
You put the magnet on the shaft and remembered to put the rotor back on?
******
If all this is good ... let's backup. Have you tested to verify you get a jolt out of the coil?
**************************
and we did just have this .... I am trying to time the engine after putting a new clutch in and working on the dist. Did you get everything running THEN go back for the Pert'?
