It doesn't. Nor does it need a Pertronix or Mallory or anything else.
All of my vehicles that came with breaker points still have them. They all work flawlessly and never fail.
My '56 Coupe de Ville has been my true daily driver for over 20 years. I've put over 100,000 miles on it. In that time it has had 3 sets of points max. It might actually be only two.
With a fully charged battery, properly functioning voltage regulator and generator, breaker points last practically forever with very little wear. They don't abruptly fail the way electronic ignition will.
