I second that emphatically. I've heard the fancier systems work a little
better, but the marked improvement you'll get with the Pertronix, its
reliability, the fact that it drops in in 20 minutes, and it's low price
make it the best bet.
Drop it in a "fahgeddaboutit."
I always carried points and a condensor with me when I was running a
Pertronix, but I've always carried them in any Rover I've owned that was
originally designed to use points.
Anybody know if Pertronix makes a V8 rig?
