Just sharing my enthusiasm. A few weeks the electric fuel pump on my Bradley went out. Replaced it with one I had on hand and everything was fine for a few days, but then it quit and had to tow it home. Each weekend I only had time to check one thing, so started a list.
fuel pump - check
coil - check
carburetors (put in rebuild kit) - check
Electronic Ignition - no go.
Seem my Pertronix points replacement module went out. Guess it had a right to since it had been in the engine since like 1985. Recently obtained a Pertronix distributor assembly for the bus (currently using vacuum advance with points), so I put it in the Bradley & it fired right up. Idles well and runs well on top, but got a hesitation in the transition - Kadrons carbs are sensitive to advance, so still have to tweak it. Jazzed to get to drive it a bit before the rain sets in.
Regards.....
