Fried my Petronix while troubleshooting that turned out to be bad spiral wound ignition wires. I went back to points and copper ignition wires. Tubman condenser to insure against that crap shoot of reliability. The all copper wires setup completely jammed my satellite radio. Switched out the one foot coil to distributor high tension cable to spiral and got my radio back. Evidently it does not take much length of spiral wound to suppress the static. Runs great.
