I’ve been using a pertronix unit in my 100 for over 20 years with no problems. As a fall back I carry a baseplate with points and condenser installed in case the electronics fail. So far no need.</div>

<div class="x_x_yiv3368558838MsoNormal">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>
