Actually.......After I had the Pertronix unit installed....I went inside to take a Nap.....While Sleeping, I had a Dream about a 6' Mustard Jar with a set of points in it's hand chasing me around
.......That was enough for me.........Pertronix "Out"......Points "In"...

I knew there was a reason I liked you Ken! Since we all know the General's design worked great, why change it and have to worry whether someone ELSE'S design will work ok????? Stick with proven success!!!
Also, it's a lot easier to change a spare set of points and condensor than a complete spare Pertronics set-up in case it Poops out on a tour.
Strictly my own personal opinion, and no personal jabs meant........but I think Pertronics set-ups are just for lazy people. I happen to LIKE checking my points once in awhile. It also gives me a chance to inspect the contacts inside the cap, the rotor tip and maybe even clean and regrease the cam. I also LIKE being able to set the dwell. There are some advantages to that.

Uh....Hey Ken...why don't you tell the story that you told to me at SEMA
[/ QUOTE ]
O.K.......The SEMA story......Humm!!......I bought a aftermarket HEI Distributor that I had in the Yellow Chevelle.............Put it in the car Early last year and as I was driving along the Car quit running.....Cost me $250 to get it flatbedded back home and found out it was the Dist'r........Took it over to the local Speed shop and he exchanged it for me.......Put it back in the car and while on the way to LaHarpe for the Gibb Show.......The car quit running again.......Only....This time I had a Spare GM Distributor in the trunk.....15 minutes later I was back on the road.......
So....I get home and get on the phone with the MSD Tech guys and read them the Riot act about their "Junk" that they sell.......because I didn't have a Sales receipt they gave me a hard time about fixing the unit......but after being a "Pain"....they agreed to take a look at it....So...I got a RGA # and sent it back.......a month go's by and one day I realize that the unit never came back........Typical Corporate B.S..........So ....I call and talk to the Service Tech that I originally gave a hard time to........So......I said to him....."You Know, it's been a month.....where's my Unit"............He asked for the RGA # and put's me on hold.....a couple of minutes later he gets on the Phone and said.......I found the problem..........You are the guy that sent an Accel Distributor to MSD to get it fixed......OOPPS!!!
Accel has since fixed the unit...........
