    i guess i will try it with the tape on and hope nothing bad happens.
    the pertronix website says nothing about tape and neither does any thing on the web i have seen after a 1 1/2 hour search.
    it looks like it is holding the small magnets in there.

    Electrically it won't make a difference, unless it causes clearance problems. Make sure it does not prevent grounding of something that should not be grounded (before you remove it). I'd try it with, and wait for a response from Pertronix.

    x2 on finding out for sure from them. i would think it is there to keep any metalic material from collecting on the sensor during storage shipping etc.

    There was no tape when I installed mine, it might have been for shipping purposes.

    The slug? I'm assuming thats your jeep's name. I too have a few names for my jeep although none of which are appropiate for this board R)
