: Pertronix are nice, but I have 33k on one set of points so quit bragging :)
: I am planning on swapping to a Mallory electronic ignition soon. Electronics ar definitely the better way to go, but points aren't a problem -CP
: : ... I've had my Pertronix in for over 30K mi.(yes 30,000)and haven't had ANY troubles...HOWEVER they do have to be "gapped" (like points) when you initially install them.
The replacement cap and rotor was almost $90. And they have to be Mallory parts! Trust me!
Find a unit in an later model Mustang in a salvage yard or go with MSD or something, but not Mallory. Good unit, but the replacement parts are REALLY expensive.
