 This trigger on the 43D Lucas copy I ordered from a shop in the UK seems to be using something that hasn't been seen before- a fairly robust (magnetic?) switch which is rubber encased. This was sold as a "high energy" switch and it indeed works great with a .7 ohm dry coil I am using. Spark looks to be really strong comparing it to my older setups.

I always have a bit of a chip on my shoulder on Petronix since my Ignitor I stopped working because of a mistake (reverse polarity). These things are sooo expensive and seems kind of cheapo for the price. The Lucas copy was about $75 and did require me to take it apart and machine it for the oil seal, but so far so good.
