Just wondering, the debate between this unit and the original points has
always 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
manner if you carried a spare, and what would the cost be for that spare?
I'm referring to a1958 Bugeye here.

After almost 100K trouble-free miles on a Pertronix in my BJ8 I bought 
another--'just because'--mainly so I could use the first one as a spare. 
Both are wired with spade terminals so as to be easily replaced; though 
I would have to cut some shrink-wrap I used to protect the connections*. 
The only downside is apparently Pertronix made some changes, probably to 
the base plate, and the new one required re-timing. Not ideal for a 
roadside swap, but you can time reasonably well with 'time if for best 
idle' and 'back-it-off-until-it-quits-pinging' techniques (and the small 
adjustments you can make with the 'A-D' knob). You'll need a feeler 
gauge--though I'm told a matchbook cover is about right--or, better yet, 
a dwell meter to set the points gap (the gap changes as the points wear, 
and don't forget to grease the cam). Compared to fiddling with the small 
nuts and screws, and the complex 'stacking order' of points pieces it's 
a piece of cake (though you do have a couple screws to mess with either 
way; I always carry a flexible magnetic pick-up tool in my roadside kit).

*Side note: I wired my on-the-shift-lever O/D switch with spade 
connectors, so I can get the knob off/on easily to replace rubber boots 
that don't seem to last long (enough). Last time I had the knob off I 
discovered one of the connectors had almost worked loose; it turns out 
most of these connectors, which often come in a kit, are absolute junk 
(made in you-know-where). I bought several kits until I found a brand 
that resisted disconnection. Be aware.

You should have driven to the nearest slot and pulled the handle.  Great
story!

But that's my question.  If you had a spare Pertronix unit (I have never
seen one, nor bought one), could you have just swapped it out?  Or is that
too expensive/difficult in that situation?

...of course, the story is more important.

I keep a spare Pertronix (in my cars) and have replaced one once.  I burned it out, it did not fail
  Oh, and it took about 6 minutes to replace
  Try that with points:)

To add more fuel to the fire, while driving on the freeway in Las Vegas years ago I had the rotor on my BN6 split in two.

Just wondering, the debate between this unit and the original points has always 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 manner if you carried a spare, and what would the cost be for that spare? I'm referring to a1958 Bugeye here.

Hey, this debate over distributors is better than the ones we've had over
silicone fluid or synthetic oils. Keep smiling and keep talking, please.

Generally speaking I think using pertronix with points in the boot as
backup is the way to go.  The advantage of points whilst on the road is you
can more easily pre-time the points by looking at the points while moving
the dizzy back and forth- you can get timing +/- 10 deg doing that - enough
to start.  electronic systems are impossible to do this and take more time
to get right while on the side of the road.

My mechanic installed points in my BJ8 engine so he could static time 
the engine and start it on the first crank on their test stand, then 
re-installed the Pertronix when they were done running it in. When I got 
the engine back in the car it would barely run and was backfiring like 
crazy. I checked the timing, and it was about 20deg retarded; looks like 
he forgot to re-time it.

            I keep a spare Pertronix (in my cars) and have replaced one
            once.  I burned it out, it did not fail<br>
              Oh, and it took about 6 minutes to replace<br>
              Try that with points:)<br>
