Greg,
 
I installed the Pertronix ignition as part of my '76 TR6 restoration  
(finished in 2003) and have been very happy with the results.  I'm using a  Lucas 
Sport Coil.  You mentioned an erratic idle.  One of the benefits  of Pertronix is 
that it compensates for a slightly worn (wobbly) distributor  shaft.  With 
points, wobbly shafts can cause the dwell angle to change  which can slightly 
change the timing which can lead to erratic  performance....not an issue which 
Pertronix.
