(I set mine per advice and have never seen the need to touch it). Another 123 version is more advanced and allows one to connect via USB and tune as you go. Mine has “Spark Balancing” and “Automatic Dwell Control”. Etcetc. You need to read the blurb.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Conclusion….I bought the Pertronix and was given the 123. Seemed rude not to fit it! Yes, I think the latter gives a smoother(?)/better spark but there was nothing intrinsically wrong with the Pertronix. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>And, yes, carry a get-you-home alternative if you’re going far. People tell you that when the electronics fail, they’re DEAD and I’m sure that’s true. I carry my old Lucas with the Pertronix in the boot. Hopefully I can swap them over if the 123 fails. Which it hasn’t yet…..I did have a total failure with the Pertonix. Just died. They swapped it…at once. No argument.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Which one? I’d have the 123….not the clever clogs version.
