Your link did'nt work,
But I found the video under the Austin Healey catagory of the web catalog.
I don't know, the Pertronix looks a little more stable than the points to me.
But the guy is trying to sell a distributor, so go figure.
I think it might be the fact that the pertronix unit's small
replacement "rotor" is a little less precise due to it's small diameter.
This guys distributor probably has a pickup assembly with a larger diameter.
Also if he was testing the points and Pertronix on an old distributor
with a worn shaft then that would explain why they both scattered.
I definitely notice an improvement with the Pertronix.
Especially on the highway. The engine seems to hum along and never
miss a beat. Besides, who wants to mess with points anyway?
I just hope that the unit holds up over time.
