Is there any performance enhancementwhen using a good Pertronix over a
good distributor with new points and condenser? I've run mine many miles
on one set of points and condenser and would be reluctant to go with the
Pertronix based on what I've read over the last couple of years. I carry
another distributor in the trunk with fresh points and condenser.
