[Fot] Ignition System Preferences?

[davehogye]

Excellent testimonials. 
I've been wanting to send another dist. to Jeff for a points setup as a backup to the Pertronix he built for me. Or, put the points unit in and use the Pertronix as a backup. Great idea of having a points plate setup and ready to go. 
I am also using the Bosch blue coil. Recommended by Jeff.

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).
