I stronfly suggest points especially if you want to use the stock coil. The Dwell period with a pertronix unit is about 50/50 on a helmet distributor.
I actually believe the reason they want you to use the ignitor coil (especially with 6 volt systems) I'd because of the dwell period.

But as always I could be wrong but I had one unit fail and have gone back to points.
