Hi,
I noticed this when the coil went bad in the B. I have a sport coil
feeding it presently. They tell me it will wear out sooner as it can't
dissipate the heat of higher current flowing through it. I carry a set
of old points for emergencies. It hasn't left me stranded yet, knock on
wood. If it's like most electronic's it will fail open at the most
inopertune time. I would recomend carrying such.
BTW I also carry spare cap and rotor for same reasons.
