I have to disagree with pertronix having a very good track record. There have been several informal surveys done on this, and other forums, and about 50 percent of the people that replied either had the pertronix fail, or performed less than satisfactorily. I have had 2 systems fail, one in the mustang, and one in the truck. In the 30 years I have owned my truck the only time it hasn't made it home was after I UPGRADED my ignition system. Yeah, it was totally not worth it. I can work on points for the rest of my life, and still not be half the trouble of that one day in the rain trying to put the points back in. On the day I finally got my wife and kid to go for a ride in the truck, on the day we (the family and I) had to ride the bus to go get the little bag of parts I had taken out of the glovebox the day before, and forgot to put back in. No I do not recommend pertronix. It didn't make it run any better, although in all fairness, I had no problems with the way it ran with the points, I don't even know why I was trying to upgrade it in the first place, it ran just fine, and having owned at least one car with points since 1975 or so, I don't ever recall working on points ever being a problem. Basically if it works don't fix it.
