Pertronix

["John Hofstetter" <hofs@domain.elided>]

Steve,
To the extent that you did a good job of explaining it, it made good
sense.
Thanks,
John H.

I think the phasing difference between points and Pertronix has to do
with 
the fact that the points actually fire the spark on the ramp of the
lobe on 
the distributor shaft cam, whereas the Petronix fires right at the top
of the 
lobe. (Assuming you didn't rotate the distributor) I would assume that

Pertronix made the module to be in the same place (directly across
from the 
magnet), that would make the rubbing block of the points would sit (at
the 
high point of the lobe of the distributor), with the distributor
housing in 
the exact same position. Does any of this make sense?
