No problems with a number of cars and a large boat with twin with Pertronix Ignitors in them.

I do not care what folks are using! Tired of that discussion. I am interested in what caused the fault and failure. We have one in the family car where the module has been in since 1997 perfectly and 40K miles. Clean electrical, 12V alternator 1.4 Ohm coil with external ballast resistor.

So something is causing the problem we would all like to know what it might be.

If using a 12 Volt setup and using a 3.0 ohm coil an external resistor is not used.
