Aside from figuring out what is happening inside and why the distributor won't lock down I would look very carefully at all the connections from the battery to the unit. Make sure they are clean and tight.

Believe the Pertronix works on TTL logic which requires a very stable voltage in a narrow range of 5v +/- a few hundredths of a volt. Anything below a 6.3v supply which in turn is dropped to the voltage requirements of the circuitry and the logic starts acting up. 12v units work well because there is lots of room as the excess is regulated down to the 5v logic requirements. When you only have 6v to start with there is no room for much voltage drop before the regulated supply to the chip is also impacted
