Points have the virtue of being cheap, easy and obvious.

electronic stuff isn't.

The factors that drove the OEM's to electronic ignition setups do not apply to me.

Do I have to worry about emissions? nope

Do I have to worry about economy? nope

Do I have to worry about a 50,000 mile warranty? nope

If my points fail I can usually fix them with whatever I have in my pockets. I cannot do that with electronic stuff and I have been fixing electronic stuff for 35 years.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
