I have Pertronix in both of my FI T3's.  There is a real version and part number for the FI T3.  I will look it up tonight and let 
everyone know.  The kit came with a new rotor. I hear this is the one advantage CompuFire has over Pertronix is that 
CompurFire works with the exsisting rotor. The Pertronix units have worked great.  I still check the timing after doing the valves, 
just havn't had to change anything. YEA!
