I've been running a Pertronix Ignitor with an original coil and stranded
wire secondaries with no issues (but I only have about 130K miles on it).
Last I checked, it's nigh impossible to get good quality points and
condensors. Standard Motors 'Blue Streak' parts used to be good, don't
know if they still are.
