Guys, don't get in a big sweat about this. Life is too short.... I recall Perlux as being British from way back in the mid 70's. Mainly because they kept popping up on MGB's racing at out local track WestWood. Per Lux was sold by a British Vendor in Vancouver at the time ( Abbington Motors ) who  " said " they were from great Britain. Too long ago and too faded a memory to bother persuing. So as one Commenwelth Nation to another, if I have slighted our UK brethren I hereby humbly apologize.

Besides..... you have Lucas and all that entails... including Warm Beer 

Not sweating, just getting facts straight.

American technology.  Probably American tape.  The final puzzle is why the schematic looks British. (emoji here).

Seriously? They have to use Tape to help hold the freakin magnets in place?? Typical fine British engineering.  Just shaking my head in disbelief... 

im wondering if maybe the tape is to keep metal particles from building up on the magnets, not to hold them in. just an idea

Well i just placed the tape back and it hasnt fallen. I have driven the car 2 days and the tape has kept there. Should i still buy another Pertronix 1761 ignitor module?

Yes buy another, it's good for the economy.  Since you removed the tape the adhesion has been compromised and it will fall off sooner than if you had left it alone.  There is never a reason to mess with things that are working. 

My thought was get a piece of heat shrink tubing around it.
