Four reasons you are NOT ready for a Pertronix ignition failure!

The notchback just quit on me while "flying" down the freeway. It sent me down a bit of a path. I hope my experience can help others. Can you run the wrong wires, even indefinitely? Yes you can. How do I know? I've done it. As far as you'll know, everything will work "just fine", right up until the point where it doesn't. Yeah, it'll probably get you home.. but why not just use the correct parts? The resistance designed into suppression wires is important for an electronic ignition system and the very low resistance of a copper core wire is important to a points and condenser system.
