Pertronix vs. Points
I have a 73 Mach 1 with the pertronix ignition.Lately I have been haveing some start and die issues resulting in me checking the voltage at the coil being 5 to 5.5 volts at idle.I jumped it using 12 volts to the coil and it works fine but the tach is inoperative, and would like to keep the factory tach working.Put the points back in and everything seems fine and runs just as well as with the Pertronix.My question is what is the real benifit of running the pertonix over the points?I have done a search and found many people like myself that keep a spare set of points with us in case the pertronix lets us set so why bother?! Thanks for any input.Herb
