I have a 53 235 that I use as a daily driver. The first modification that I made was conversion to 12 volt and an alternator. I enjoy the speed that the 6 volt starter turns when it receives 12 volts, and the fact that I don't have to deal with a voltage regulator used for a generator. Then I decided to go with a Pertronix ignition so that I wouldn't have to wonder if my points were crusty or gapped properly. I am very satisfied with all of these modifications in terms of improved performance and reliability. And yes, I carry points and condenser in the glove box. But I do remember keeping an extra module for my HEI distributor back in the day.
