Sure the pain in the ass factor of adjusting dwell and replacing points/condensors is just about worth the expense - but is there any other benefit to them (besides point bounce at high rpm)??
I have a dead CHT, so it's one of those while I am ordering things.... |

Electronic ignitions are less susceptable to distributor shaft wear. More smooth at higher RPM ranges. They boast of increased spark gap (ran my stock engine eith pertronix at 45 instead of 35). No maintenance.
Down side, they will burn out if you hook it up wrong, and they can die if the ignition is left on for long periods of time. |
