<html><div><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also, years ago whilst traveling the New York State Thruway I came upon a disabled Austin Healey whilst driving my own to a fraternity </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">brother's wedding. This was before cell phones. Disabled vehicles were at the mercy of tow trucks and </span></strong><strong style="font-size: 16px;">exorbitant fees. It was </strong><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>determined</strong></span><strong style="font-size: 16px;"> there was no spark. With no tools but just a nail clipper with a nail file, we filed the </strong><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>points,</strong></span><strong style="font-size: 16px;"> and were both on our </strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial Black',sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>way!

<h1><strong style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial Black',sans-serif;">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 – 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</span></strong></h1>

<div class="MsoNormal">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.</div>
