It is so easy to install and since there is nothing to adjust, it is trouble
free. How many people on the list have had bad condensers or points that
left them stranded or had to be towed? For less than $100, it is one of the
best things I have put on my BJ8.

Ditto--------!! I have carried a spare Pertronix around with me for the
last 6/7 years. It will probably rust out before I ever need it. I keep
telling people about the positives of this thing. Some listen some don't.
But--my cars have never ran so good since I installed it---and no more
messing with points.
