I am currently waiting the get my Ignitor II back from ProQuip as my TB42 died on the roadside 2 weeks ago, so I put in for a warranty claim on the unit as the autoelec tested and advised no signal. The unit itself tested OK on the test bed so the probable issue is earthing on the engine side.
Considering the wiring on mine is 33 years old now, and the insulation and plastic connectors are starting to fall apart....
I am also running a flame thrower coil with mine, as the last coil gave up. You need to have a coil that will perform as 12v, otherwise, they overheat as they are expecting 9v (hence the resistor). The Petronix website has the specifications for the coil if you want to try another brand coil.
If anyone knows an 'easy' way to do away with the distributor and go COP or 6 coils.....other than a complete custom wiring/ecu.
Cheers

Another way is to use a transistor to take away the main switching current from the points. Plenty of info on Google about it.
It makes the points last a hell of a lot longer.
