Howcome everyone's so afraid of using a Pertronix ignition? I want the look of a points type distributor with a solid state ignition module. I've seen multiple bashes on the Pertronix ignition module, but has anyone here actually used one and experienced an actual failure? I know, where are you gonna get one when it does fail, but the same could be applied to a Chevy HEI. They burn out when they get hot too. Of course you can get one from a parts store, but if you're high and dry at the side of the road, you could always reinstall a set of points in a distributor, and at that point, it doesn't really matter what's broken, right?
