Yes! btdt. If you lift the ring off now, you'll see that you probably shaved off a bit of the plastic inside grooves, inside the ring. Clean them out and it'll probably still go right back on.. now that you've 'clearanced' it :-)
Believe it or not... Whitey, my '75 Spitfire, still has an original Perlux labeled unit in it. Perlux was the name of the company before a group of their engineers bought the division and renamed it Pertronix. The only Pertronix unit I ever had trouble with, was the fault of the installer.

I'm on my second Pertronix unit (1149C) as the first one I purchased was sold with the last car I put it on. I love those things! But this time around, I really had trouble getting the magnetic ring seated, and actually had to use an open socket and mallet to press it into place. It shouldn't have been that difficult. I noticed at a later time that the advance vernier no longer seemed to be changing the timing. I'm wondering if that ring was so tight, and I bashed it down hard enough, to lock the plates together. Is that possible? /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
