Aside from a complete swap of the distributor, what are the other options? I am open to sugestions to research.

Yea seems like every topic on Pertronix devolves into a heated argument.

Last year before I became active in the forums, I had bought an ignitor II, it apeared fairly simple. just replace the points and condensor with the module and bypass the resistor when connecting to the key. So far I have not done the switch.

Im just trying to find out if pertronix has fixed the issues.

As for keeping a whole points distributor under ther seat as a replacement. Why. break down side of the road, Find TDC then swap distributors. What a PITA. Or were you talking about a set of points and condensor?

I remember when I bought my first truck, a 1966 GMC with a six cylender. My Grand Dad recomended I keep a set of points and a condensor in the glove box. Never needed them but they were there If I did. Come to think of it, I dont think had a screwdriver though.
