I think its a philosophical question points vs electronic ignition. I am an 
electronic engineer and working as the electronic expert for a company who I 
think sells most 123 Ignition electronic systems here in Europe. The 123 is far 
superior to any other electronic system like Petronix, Lumenition, etc and 
extremely reliable. That`s my job to promote these electronical systems. My own 
Healeys I run with points. When driving my Healeys I want to have the feel and 
technology of a classic car and not a modern. My daily driver has all these 
gimmicks I enjoy, but I do not need in the Healey. For me its like having a 
Rolex Daytona watch and changing the mechanical clockwork for an elecrical one. 
With the Healeys I want to feel these not perfect technology of the 50s/60s and 
can control and dominate it. That gives me my satisfaction driving a Healey or 
other classic car. But I am happy to sell as much electronic equipment I can. 
Electtronic ignitions are superior definitely, but that`s not what I want in my 
classic cars.
