Bringing this subject up again, not in the context of its longevity, as that was sufficiently covered in a prior post. ( BTW>>>Thanks all who responded. To me, it seems like the guys running the pertronix have had themfor many, many miles with no issues! super)
No, this is about a "weakness" I heard about when speaking to another fellow restorer this weekend.
According to him, the "weakness" of the unit is if you were to leave the ignition ON, without the truck actually running, it would burn out the EI unit in less than 15 second, leaving the truck dead. No way to start as unit is fryed, or burnt out.
Has anyone ever experienced THIS? Or heard of this?
