 Pertronix did ship a replacement part. If anyone wants a good deal on an Ignitor, drop me an email.

I wasn't thrilled by the melting unit, especially that close to the carbs. I went with a Crane Cams XR700 unit that has an optical pickup inside the distributor. A little more difficult to install, probably because of the carbs. I ended up removing the distributor to install the shutter and pickup unit - much easier. Static timing is easy with the LED light that indicates when the "virtual points" break. Final adjustment with a timing light and it's good to go. The unit is actually quite small & black and I mounted it just beside the coil.
