I have but one thing to add to the Pertronix Upgrade information.

The yellow dot is where Pertonix says the sweet spot is on this sensor.
In actuality it turns out they were wrong. The red dot is where I
found it to be. About 3/8" difference and I had to move the magnet
further out on the fin to make the thing fire. Might be something worth
checking before you place the magnet.
The bracket was supposed to be welded but turns out I was out of shield
gas - hence the passel of rivets and the beating the poor thing took to
make those extra bends. Not pretty, but stout.
It's running well and my timing light actually says it's at 27° BTDC
now. I also wired up a fuel pump prime circuit while I was at it.
My oil leaks are better but not fixed. That front cover will be coming
off before I have to do any boondocking this summer. There is also a
1/2" crack in the oil pan. For now that gets slathered with JB Weld, I
think. I should probably drill the ends of the cracks... but at that
point I suppose I should pull the pan and fix it right. Just one more thing.
