Personally, I'd leave the points in it if you haven't already bought the electronic ignition module... I'm sure Rob could point out the pros/cons as to how many 10ths its worth to install the Pertronix, but personally, I haven't noticed any difference from a good ol' set of points. I originally installed it on my Camaro when i was battling an ignition problem that was later traced to a bad reproduction delco plug wire, otherwise it would still have the stock points in it. My Deuce still has points, and I have no plans to "upgrade". PS.. my hood tach works too! (thanks to Joe Swezey!)
