To each his own...

I'm glad there are many options to choose from and sharing experiences and opinions with more than one guy is what BB boards are all about.

It was a noticable difference going from stock points to Pertronix on my 235.
The 40kV coil also made a difference.
I can now gap the spark plugs to .045 and have a fatter spark than stock, burning fuel more completely.

Now, as always there are some who will not notice any difference - cool - just stick with the points - nothing wrong with that.
I like the stock setup, just not on my daily driver with upgraded intake and exhaust.


If you shop smart, you can get an electronic ignition for as much or less than a stock dizzy and coil.
