It depends on what you mean by electronic ignition. If you mean using a
pertronix unit to sense the firing through the rotor - it is typically a
good thing, but won't cure ills that befall a standard distributor -
i.e. if the shaft is worn and wobbly, electronics won't cure that. If
you mean a crank sensor and a set of coils, that is generally a good
thing too, but pretty expensive, and a lot more work to fit. These also
have to be checked for their ability to replicate or improve on the
ignition advance curve (usually they can, sometimes they can't).
