3000? 2000? I would rather stick to points and get 10,000+. I would expect a minimum of 50k, 100k would be preferable. PaulH.

Hey guys, are we looking at a bit of a knee-jerk reaction here or what? I would really like to know because, of course, I have gone the Pertronix way myself. So far, from an extensive list like this,

Gee, I hope so Jeff. It's about the same amount of difficulty installing an Ignitor as it is to install a new set of points, but the cost is a bit higher. I haven't had any trouble with mine, but hav

I don't know about knee-jerk reaction. This is the second failure of a Pertronix Ignitor for me. Same car, but different distributors. Neither had more than 20k miles on them, in fact much less, and

I agree... I want proof! Let me see... After installing points, from EI, the Midget starts on the first turn of the key, even in the cold. Gas mileage has crept up to the 24 mpg level. Spark is nice

The gap slips, points burn out, condensers go bad. I have never tried the ignitors (or whatever they are called). All I know is they are an expensive item to replace. For all the problems I have had

Good point (pun intended), I think I'll carry a spare set. My last set came from MOSS, I'd hate to place an order just for that. What kind of luck have people had with locally acquired points/condens
