Default Re: Pertronix coil

Individual different opinions & individual different experiences reported should always be respected for many different reasons.

For example, years ago, some may remember hearing from intelligent & knowledgeable senior mechanics born prior to WWI that the last electrical item to fail on any car or tractor was the coil.

The main difference was that "all" coils back then were manufactured in the US under strict quality control standards.

Then coil manufacturers began making cheaper coils outside the US whereby they paid much less for labor & naturally quality took a dive.

My experience is that today, coils are far more likely to fail.

This vintage US quality control does not exist today with foreign made products; hence, we witness all of these unpredictable honest individual experiences & honest opinions drawn from said different experiences.
