I did replace the coil but it was not bad, since the old one looked ratty. The new one is marked use external resistor. I tested the pertronix and it doesn't look like it's working right. I can get voltage through it but it doesn't change voltage at all when you turn it. Was there a breaker plate originally for the old points that might have been tossed if I decide to go back to points?
