Was the distributor removed to install the Pertronix? You stated that the condition just started after the ingnition change. As the Boat man states if you did pull the distributor you will need to retime. I reread your post and it still sounds like a bad or dirty lug/terminal or a bad cell/bad battery or a problem with the regulator. One good course of action,if you can get the old Bird down the road might be to roll into your local Chain Auto Parts store and ask for a free charging system check. No point in throwing good money away for an already OK regulator. Good Luck and keep us in the loop!
