Hello Jacques,
i went electronic simply because i hate having to fiddle with
points. some don't mind, i do... my first try was the
pertronix unit. easy to install, minimal changes other than
some + ground idiosyncrasies... lasted about 2 years or so,
then left me stranded... had to have the car towed home from
over 60 miles out.. $$$$$$!
Paul A. swore/swears by the crane unit. he happend to have one
available.. PITA to set up, including CUTTING OFF the points
mounting post .. scary, as there's no going back after that. ..
and apparently NO NEED. it took me a while to get it dialed in,
but ever since the spark is steady as a rock. .. would never go
back or use anything else... ....
to me the real test of mods is what do the racers do, as far as
reliability goes... . almost every one of them (that i've seen
vintage racing) uses a crane unit... not a pertronix in the
field.....
