It surprises me too. Thought Pertronix was the only way to go. It lasted just under 9 months. Looked at the box, it states 90 day warranty. It's made in China. I see that if you buy one from Advance Auto, they will extend the warranty to 1 year. So...I might do that, or look into buying a Bosch. I think the Bosch is made in Brazil or Mexico. Hard to believe but oh so true. Was wondering what people have used for a 12 volt coil. If you want it to sit upside down as in the Model A, you need one with epoxy in it.
I have a 50 year old MGB that still is running the original coil. Bet it says Lucas on it. Bet you can't get one made in England either???
