Howard,
Thanks for the in-depth research @ e-ignition systems and their issues, good and bad. It seems that the good ole reliable points & condenser are hard to beat. There's also the fact that under an electro-magnetic pulse event, the e-ignition systems would fail, whereas the points/condenser would keep on truckin'.

hi ,i LOVE my points eliminator system ,the pertronix guy at the teck line was very helpfull teling me the exact part number ,worked spotlessly ,but they like thier voltage ,one thing that is very helpful is to get a beefy enough battery ,the 6 volt ones these days are less CCHr than whats specified i believe the spec is 1000 ,the 6 volt batteries that you can get now at the battery store are by in large pretty crappy .The pertronix module needs its voltage and they dont work wel if not fed .so a big 6 v forklift battery is the trick ,NAPA (4202 i think)you have to cut the battery tray in 1/2 and put in a piece of metal to make it longer 17 " ,but not wider it took me 1/2 hr for this mod i got better power and no hot start issues after this ,dont forget that old hard unmoving vacumb advance ,this should get swapped out ,its realy easy and could be done at the same time
so my points are in a plastic bag in my cool sliding glove box in case the pertronix thing blows
