You need minimal radial play (tight bushings for no side movement) and AZ reportedly has rebuild point dizzys for cheap. iirc no solid core plug wires/cap with brass not alum inserts/dont leave the key "on" without unhooking it/keep the green tape there?/gap with the supplied plastic gap tool?/use their coil/no ballast. I think Scratchn knows the ins and outs on Pertronix & check on the above. I would go with the II or III Pertronix live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I gutted my ballast and soldered a wire across and re-installed it. I did it for simplicity sake, its the same as eliminating it. You also want to go that route if you want it to continue to look like stock under your hood. 1971 Plymouth Satellite 408/904 8 3/4 3.23 SG
