Is there  the possibility that 'upgrades' such as the Pertronix ignition

they  
replace?

Have any TR folks given up on such a system and reverted to  points?

I went back to points in my Stag and also my E Type Jag. The problem I had  
was when I had a failure, I had no way of troubleshooting it without  
installing points. 
 
I am installing Pertronix in a second Jaguar, BUT I have a new,  
spare,unopened box in the boot in case it fails on the road. Very few people on 
 the Jag 
list have had a Pertronix failure.
