After the Pertronix is installed for a while, the ring that mounts around the distributor shaft loosens up a bit and can rotate several degrees from it's original position. Mine could turn at least 15 degrees. I backed it with a couple bits of electrical wrap (no adhesive) and pushed it back on.

From what you said, I was afraid it was faulty or varying field sensing based on heat or something, but it seems to be just the mounting.

I will regularly check it. And look for an XR700.
