FWIW I once did a long distance Rally in a 35 year old car. I carried a
spare distributor complete with points, condenser, cap, HT harness and
had a spare coil mounted next to the one in use.
The result was none of it was needed and the engine never missed a beat
in 11,500 miles! This is a consequence of Dos's Law which is the
antithesis of Sod's Law. (sometimes known as as Murphy's Law).
