...and 33k is WAY too much mileage to put on a set of points...I can only imagine how much performance your engine is being robbed of...I used to reset the dwell/gap EVERY 3 MONTHS & replace them every 6 because they were fried after that short amount of time...Oh sure it still ran, but not to its fullest potential...
: Pertronix are nice, but I have 33k on one set of points so quit bragging :)
: I am planning on swapping to a Mallory electronic ignition soon. Electronics ar definitely the better way to go, but points aren't a problem -CP
: : ... I've had my Pertronix in for over 30K mi.(yes 30,000)and haven't had ANY troubles...HOWEVER they do have to be "gapped" (like points) when you initially install them.
