Re: Poll: Electronic Ignition, Pertronix or Points

[Rich <ssplymouth@xxxxxxx>]

Tom,

Butch is right in my opinion. I have dual points, While at times can be a hassle 
base decision on miles per year or in my case 5 years. Type of fuel and driving 
along with what rpm shifts. If maintenance isn't an issue or not swinging high 
rpms for time slips dual points seem to work well. 


If a resto or resto-mod and don't want exposed wiring then dual points work 
fine. Otherwise ease with operation on long drives and no points to deal with is 
better for your mind, then it is an easy decision.

Actually Tom..... I'm thinking strongly about putting a dual point stock 
distributor in my 64 383 to replace the single point set up, rather than an 
electronic set up. I drove one of these cars from 64-68 with dual points and had 
no issues with it. The miles I drive now, I'll probably never even re-adjust the 
points. /Butch/ Ferndale, WA

Reading all the threads over the last month on pertronix setup, 
pertronix vs Mopar Electronic Ignition and the other pertronix threads 
over the last little while. 

Do you Run Mopar Electronic, Pertronix or Points?? 

I'm just curious how many on the list still run points like I do?  Am I 
the last holdout with the old prestolite dual point setup?  I understand 
why the conversion, hotter spark, no adjustment, etc.  But I've only had 
to adjust points twice since we pulled the dart out of the barn in 2001.
