I believe a Pertronix is more than electronic points; they maintain a time
constant regardless of RPM, unlike points which open and close faster at higher
RPM and may not allow primary winding saturation (resulting in lower secondary
voltage). The newer ones supposedly have even more capability.

If the electronic ignition is a Pertronix (or a similar design) that is
actually only an electronic set of "points" then the voltage is a function of
the coil which may or may not be higher voltage than the original.
