Dag Kees.  You are so correct.  Electronic transformed my Healey into a dependable and pleasurably driving car.  NEVER any points for me.

It is more a question of protecting the engine as you can keep it in 
tune far better with a Pertronix, Lumenition Optronic etc. than with 
points. Points these days are of abominable quality and get out of tune 
fast. The metal of the points is not good and the cam folower is the 
wrong material and wearing far to quickly. The result will be less 
power, higher emissions, increased fuel consumption and may be burned 
valves if very neglected.
You do not have to modify anything. It is just a bolt on device which 
can easily be replaced by the original points set up when originality 
counts.
