Yes to Pertronix. However, after a year or two with one, I couldn't resist a
123Ignition. Better still. In my opinion only of course.....

Generally, I agree. BUT ... the spin-on oil filter adapter is a major
time/effort saver. The original Purolator/Tecalemit units are a PITA to change,
and I always worry I didn't do it right and the filter is getting blocked or
bypassed. Of course, you can bolt up the old contraption in no time if you're
overcome with purism.
And, I'm sold on Pertronix--engines run better with them and, of course, they
save time/effort too. My dad and I have 5 classic cars between us; all got
Pertronix Ignitors. We don't have to futz with points and there's usually
something else that needs to be done on them.
At times, I've had 3 cars to maintain. Anything that sames time and hassle, and
arguably improves the car's performance, is good by me. Agree on the
alternator/generator.
