The Pertronics is a hall effect element breakerless system. Like the
crane, set it properly once and forget it as the timing will remain as
spot on as the distributor allows it to. The advantage of a Pertronix
unit is that it fits completely inside the distributor cap with no
outside module.
An engine relys upon a tight timing chain and a distributor that delivers
a spark at just the right time for maximum performance and fuel
efficency. Many people don't seem to mind driving with worn out parts.
My personal preference is to have everything in very good to excellent
condition. I feel it increses the vehicle's efficency and reliability.
Those two aspects are important to me as a woman traveling long distances
alone.
Everyone maintains their Land Rover or Land Rover like vehicle (Didn't
want to resume that discussion here) to the level they personally feel
comfortable with.
