It is an accepted fact that the ORIGINAL Pertronix Ignitor (not the II or II versions) will fail if the ignition is left on and the motor is not turning. My question is HOW LONG does the ignition have to be on before the Pertronix burns fails? I have carbs and like to turn my ignition on to prime the bowls for about 10 seconds prior to cranking the engine. Will that result in Original Pertronix failure or does it have to be on for a more extended period? I know that I could wire an independent switch to activate the fuel pump, but am trying to avoid that if unnecessary. Thanks for any input.
