Re: Pertronix

When I installed that Pertronix unit It started on the first pull. This is after not running for 5 years. Speaks well of the technology and it is hidden inside the distributor from the purists. Tally Ho! Thom Collins

Dave, how long time is "on"? I like to check that the fuel pump is alive and ticking before starting. I assume that's OK? Bjorn TC7773

I've had mine "on" without the engine running for up to 30 seconds without any ill effects, on multiple vehicles fitted with Pertronix devices. I assume that Pertronix is speaking of minutes and not seconds regarding this issue. JP TC2797
