I love electronics and in fact have a Pertronix on my 56 Caribbean - it performs flawlessly. Yet almost everyone I know who had Pertronix in a 6-volt car later removed it and went back to points after multiple roadside "no-start" situations with a hot or warm engine. And one vendor has even stopped selling the 6-volt units. If you use the "search" feature you'll find plenty of posts about the issue - the triggering voltage for Pertronix can easily exceed the available voltage when cranking the engine unless everything is absolutely at the top of it's game.
