"I had the same experience as Bob D had back in July 2006 with the magnetic sleeve. It would not slide all the way on the distributor cam to allow the rotor cap to fit on its slot. I applied too much pressure and cracked the sleeve. I'm going to call the Pertronix factory asap to ask why? I just shelled out $115.00$ for it and now it's junk! I have twin 4cyl BB140A's in my 1981 Bayliner 3270 Explorer. I decided to go with electronic ignition one engine at a time after realizing that points/condensor are out of style and after I bought the boat last summer I realized that the port engine seems to have a history of burning up points according to the captains log that the previous owner wrote about. Reading all of the success stories got me pumped on the pertronix, now I just feel like I wasted my money. Maybe they sent the wrong parts. the kit number is 2842. Why should it take any elbow grease at all to get the sleeve to seat all of the way down? It worked for Bob D but not for me!!
