"Well, I guess it depends on what is meant by "beating Ma Mopar kit. " IMO the Pertronix "beats" Ma's kit by..being lower cost to simply getting rid of points---being easier to install-- not needing the orange box and its associated wiring ( Nothing wrong with what the box is intended for) I have never said that the base pertronix will out perform Ma's kit. . And I would never say you should get rid of the box type ignition and go with Pertronix. With a box where does a non mechanic start when diagnosing an ignition problem? With Pertronix it either works or don't work . That's why I carry the original points with the car. I have never needed them yet. I make no financial gain from my promotion, just belive in what I chose and why..................................................MO
