I have heard elsewhere the early Petronix were affected by voltage spikes however I think this has been fixed. I have just installed a Petronix ML-181P6 (8cyl, 6v, pos eth) part number 5809P6 and it seems OK.
I am using this with a"Flame Thrower 2" coil, part number 45011, and I have found that it produces a 45kV approx spark which, by my experiments, requires the spark plug gap to be increased to .045" otherwise the engine runs very rough.
