I got talked into the Petronix 3 points replacement in 2015( the rev limiter was a very attractive feature). The Car did not get back on the road till last year, so not much testing, but I did read here of all the issues with electronic points replacement and wondered when” stranded at the side of the road “ was going to happen to me.

I will go back to points and condenser, any input on best product available is appreciated.
Summit sells the good ones, 50 bucks though.
On the bright side, if you can find a good USA made MSD box, Crane HI6 box or Mallory Hyfire box and run it with these points they will last for years and years.
