[T2] Pertronix

[Robert Mann]

    Thanx v much for this revealing survey.  The defects reported are
enough to steer me clear of this expensive device.
     The defects of the std ign system are as mentioned (+ some others);
but those accustomed to them, esp if equipped with guages such as CHT, may
well continue in std mode as I intend to do.

thanx all
