I have installed at least 20 Pertronix ignitions on mostly stock 914's in my shop. The benefits are limited to dwell and related timing that does not change and eliminating points maintenance. The failure rate has been low but more than I would like, mainly because of 2 that have failed on 1 customers 914 (there have been others). Pertronix says this is a consumer fault by leaving the ignition turned on without the engine running. I don't think stock 914's need MSD and other complicated and expensive ignitions. Do any of you other shop owners or experienced repairers have a trusted points replacement? Thanks! Brad Mayeur
