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. A highway patrolman stopped and
repaired it with super glue and a rubber band. I limped home 15 miles â?? put
on another rotor and kept a spare for safety and the repaired one in the parcel
shelve for memories. Try that with a Pertronix unit

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.

It's been close to 20 years ago, but Jeff rebuilt my distributor, including the
vacuum advance diaphram, and put in a pertronix unit. I'm very happy with the
results.
