...concerning the Petronix ignition?  There is one on ebay for $72.  Is
it good?  Is this a good price?

I have one on my 259  '55 President 4dr and really like it.  Quicker
starts and better gas mileage.  One quirk is that you should turn the
ignition key on for a few seconds before starting the engine.  Also the
hotter coil is highly recommended.  You must also buy the specific one
for your application.  ex.  V8 or 6 cylinder, 12 volt or 6 volt.  I
bought mine a few years ago from Ted Harbit and I think is successor
now handles them.

No problems with just making normal "on" motion with mine. No hold time
required.

5 years, many miles, no problems.

Check the Jegs or Summit catalogs for current prices.
