Not a huge mallory unilite fan. Even back in the 80's when those were popular and made here in the US they posed problems for people. A lot of friends jumped on that bandwagon back then and quickly got back off.

Personally, on my daily drivers I run points. I trigger MSD boxes with the stock points distributor and it's pretty much hands down the most reliable setup you can put on a car. If the box dies, I just swap wires at the coil and drive away on points, worry about replacing the box when I get home. No issues with rpm either. I have 2 engines on points here that will spin to 7000 no problem with stock 23 ounce accel points.

Honestly though, after running MSD boxes for more than 35 years and still buying them today, I've only had one failure and that one simply didn't work right out of the box, and they swapped it out no problem. I've never had one leave me stranded somewhere. I don't waste time worrying about it.
