Today when I got back to the truck after working out, once I turn the ignition key to the on position, before even cranking the engine I heard a muffled pop coming out of the distributor. Today the weather was very hot with a high of 107 degrees in Aliso Viejo and the truck had been parked in full sun for about 1 1/2 hours. This finally confirms the sound is coming from the Pertronix since I hadn't even cranked the engine over. My guess is that in high heat the battery has lower cranking amps and somehow creates the pop sound, which is consistent with when the battery was bad and it used to do it all the time. I will send an email to the Pertronix Technical team to see if they have any ideas. Also, no misfires at all in the last couple of days.
