Lifespan of petronix?

Hi Guys,

Installed my petronix 5 1/2 years ago - fantastic! Couldn't have been happier - BUT now the 72S has started running rough.

So I did the valves, new plugs, timing. Idles nicely, but once warm & under load it coughs & splutters intermittently. Will drive for a couple of miles then lose power. Occasionally runs on when turned off.

What the .....?

So I'm thinking that the petronix is giving me grief.

Should I change out the plug leads & dist. cap first? (I have new spares on the shelf) Pulling the petronix out & replacing the points is more hassle ...

Anyone had a petronix for more than 6 years?

Your thoughts appreciated

Gary
