I installed a Pertronix I unit in my 223 Engine well over five years ago and have had absolutley no issues with it. I installed the unit following the directions to the letter, regapped the plugs to .040 inches, fired it up and has been operating flawlessly since. That being said, I have heard of instances that you have found of some of the magnets turned wrong. As to the tape becoming undone, I have been thinking about removing that part and possibly trying to get some shrink sleeve the right size to install over the tape to prevent the tape from becoming undone. I still carry a set of points, condenser, and coil as backup.
