I=92ve been using a pertronix unit in my 100 for over 20 years with no prob=
lems. As a fall back I carry a baseplate with points and condenser installe=
d in case the electronics fail. So far no need.

Since Pertronix don't have points I guess the answer is: "the car would not=
have been disabled due to the points failing".

Also, years ago whilst traveling the New York State Thruway I came upon a d=
isabled Austin Healey whilst driving my own to a fraternity brother's weddi=
ng. This was before cell phones. Disabled vehicles were at the mercy of tow=
trucks and exorbitant fees. It was determined there was no spark. With no =
tools but just a nail clipper with a nail file, we filed the points, and we=
re both on our way! Try that with a Pertronix unit!

Just wondering, the debate between this unit and the original points has al=
ways been that you can replace the points in the event of a failure on the =
side of the road. How difficult is it to replace this unit in the same mann=
er if you carried a spare, and what would the cost be for that spare? I'm r=
eferring to a1958 Bugeye here.
