yeah, everyone has heard my story, but I put pertronix in my mustang, lasted about 15 minutes. Put a set in the truck, lasted about 6 months, the only time in 30 years that truck has ever left me stranded, was after I UPGRADED the ignition. I asked the question on this very forum specifically if anyone else had a less than satisfactory experience with pertronix. I got 10 replies, 4 of which were of the so negative, "I took it out" variety, that along with my poor experience, makes it 5 out of 11 against pertronix, some fella said the poll on inliners was about the same. Some fella at work said he installed a unit in his boat, the first one died on him, but the second works fine. So even though it isn't a huge poll in terms of numbers, it is enough to make me stick with the points. I could fester with points for the rest of my life and still not be as much work and misery as that one day standing out in the wind and rain, spending an hour and a half getting home on the bus to get the parts, which I had been keeping in the glove box till just a day or two before when I had taken them out for some reason and forgot to put them back....
