Default Re: It Just Died

Alright, I am now back in operation but I do still have a question. I did not really enjoy having my car die on the busiest street in town on the busiest shopping day and blocking traffic while I tried to get a tow truck. The Pertronix ignition module died after about six years of good service. Is this the usual life span? Is there a way of determining if it is about to fail? Is it just a crap shoot whether it will fail in one year or ten years? Should I plan on changing it after 4-5 years or should I just wait until it fails and risk getting stuck again? I guess the point is that I have lost confidence in it although perhaps that is not fair. Unfortunately Pertronix does not yet have a Tech Support service on their web site so I can't ask them. Any insight would be appreciated. E.
