30Tudor, Actually I use original type points, they are easy to adjust and I have had No problems. I have had good results with the original points that I have got from Snyders or Brattons. I tried running the modern points and had nothing but problems. Some believe that having the condensor mounted under the distributor cap is cooler. It doesn't have any air moving over it under the cap as it does in the original position and it gets pretty hot. The only condenser failures that I remember in 50 years were in recent times with the modern condenser mounted under the cap. Actually you can mount the condenser on the coil bracket and attach the condenser wire to the switch side of the coil. I learned this many years ago. That said, the pertronix coil works great with original points. The original coil was around 20.000 volts the Flame thrower coil is 40.000 volts, it pretty much doubles the ignition power. You can feel the difference. I think the last one I got was around $40.00 Thats a lot less than electronic. I think it is pretty cool to modify the original system without makeing visible changes. It is also good to have the simple original distributor that can easily be fixed.
