at the risk of making someone here re-read my experience with electronic ignitions on a points car;
I was introduced to the bad side of electronic ignitions when the most reliable one out there (a GM HEI, with no foreign parts) died on me;
the culprit was the magnetic pickup.
I learned right there that electronics WILL let you down;
I also learned that a mechanical issue is easier to diagnose than an electronic one.
When these points conversions first came out, I thought they were cool;
I’m now fully on board with old fashioned “never going to leave you stranded” points.
