I have faith in the solid state...
If my Pertronix fails, I'll scrounge up a Hall effect transistor and a
Power MOSFET, and then I'll solder up a solution. When I do
do such things, I can assure you it will be overdesigned.
But I don't think that is going to happen.
If you like your points then that is just fine.
Just keep in mind that they have not put points on a production car
for nearly 30 years or so, and for good reasons.
Speaking of the solid state. I came up with a pretty neat solid state flasher
replacement for my Bugeye. It is self terminating after about 20 seconds
of flashing (you can make it longer if you want). I am always forgeting to cancel
the turnsignals on the Bugeye.
The circuit is small enough to fit inside of a standard flasher housing
although I made a new housing out of a piece of aluminum tubing.
I'll see if I can post a link to the schematic and picture of it. If you can't wait
email me off list and I email you the pdf.
The reason I made it was I am planning to convert to LED lamps for the turn signal
and running lamps that i bought from here:

When you convert to LEDS they often do not draw sufficient current to operate
the old style flashers. The flasher I made will work with LEDS or regular bulbs.
