I still have the points in my 56 belair with original 265. I have a spare set in the back corner of the glovebox, along with a book of matches to set them with. The thing is, they only go bad when it's raining, at about 10:30 at night, on sunday, when I'm wearing a new white shirt. I've had a pertronix in my mustang for 7 years, no issues whatsoever. My "new" 56 has a pertronix. I can wear white shirts again!
