Does anyone have an opinion on which electronic ignition is better. Appearance takes a backseat to performance and reliability for me.

I have pertronix in my dizzy and it's been great for the past 2 years. It's a daily driver too. I like it because it keeps it looking stock. Since appearance doesn't matter, you could go with either.

Langdon's all the way... great support from Tom. Mine has been in for a year and its great all around...what a difference! It looks stock with the round coil and all at a great price. T/C Steve

Good news is you can't go wrong with either one.

I put in Langdon's and it's great!

Thanks for the input. I chose Langdon's. All reports say either is a good choice. No one has a negative response. Off the shelf parts sold me. A little more money for the Langdon but I now I have a complete spare/backup.

I got the mini from Tom along with the "retro looking coil" from Tom. Works perfect and easy to install and wire.
