I am with Tony on this. Changed to a Jeff built points distributor several years ago
and have had no more electrical gremelins. Was using a Lucus coil and that quit
at the Jefferson this year. Now run a Bosch Blue. Have had no issues and still
carry a spare plate set up with points. Check the gap before each week end
and forget about it. In all the years of street driving my TR3A never had a point
problem strand me anywhere.

He's very specific about the parts used, and while the spark isn't as accurate as the crankfire setup I replaced, I'm extremely happy with it.  Got a spare points plate so it's a quick swap if I have an issue.  Runs to 7k rpm just fine (although I generally shift sooner than that).
