I'm putting electronic ignition on it, but I won't be using Pertronix. A Ford TFI module works with points, is cheaper, and is available at any parts store should it fail. Can't say that about Pertronix. Pertronix is just a big waste of money, IMHO.
Not available at any parts store, no, but you can swap the breaker plate points and all right back in on the side of the road. It does cost more than a ford module for sure, but how much is my time worth? Pertronix is a drop in 5 minute install.
Although the Ford option seems to be a slicker way to go, I like the pertronix brand because it's simple and made for that vehicles ign system so if it doesn't work i have someone to go back to. If i mis-wire the TFI, then i have to scratch my head forever.
Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who's just not that knowledgeable about ignition systems, i'll spend a couple extra bucks on simplicity and time saving every day.
Love to see how this car comes out though, i bet she runs like a champ when you get her back together!
