1. The quality and availability of points/condensor is declining/variable.

2. With the rear position of the distributor, replacing points and then adjusting dwell and timing has always been a difficult task.

3. Some EI provide a hotter spark, especially at cranking.

At present, I'm running a Pertronix on one engine and a Mopar solid state conversion on another. The Pertronix is less expensive, but I do believe the Mopar is better and more reliable.

FWIW, I've been rebuilding both the Autolite and Delco distributors and converting them to the Mopar trigger. They come with new bushings, vacuum advance, trigger, rotor and cap. However, at $300, they're not selling quickly, so when the last couple are gone, I won't do any more.
