Hi Tony,
My experience of electronic conversions are not failures of the unit or module, but the higher voltage HT destroying the rotor arms or centre carbon area of the distributor cap. Maybe this was the one particular type, do Pertronix kits increase the HT voltage above the normal 15,000 or so volts?
