Electronic ignition systems are great on a flathead when they are working well. When they pack up way out in the middle of knowhere you are stuffed and generally wont be able to fix it. The original ford helmet and crab systems are very good and reliable for touring cars and can be repaired fairly easily if there is a problem. Carry spare points, condenser and coil. Henrys original design called for the distributer to be serviced every 50,000 miles ! Of course all the components in the system should be in excellent like new condition and not eighty year old used components which should have been thrown out years ago. Regards, Kevin.
