Was wondering if anyone has a link they used to do it.. or do most ppl keep the points for ease and simplicity? Also is there a kit eveyrone perfers? I see the Petronix kit, and that is the High end stuff, but if that is what is needed it will be on my list.


Thanks
Patrcik

I run points.
I like the simplicity and reliability.
I don't mine checking and setting the dwell and timing a couple of times a year.
I like having #3 retarded because I don't have a doghouse fan.

There are others who prefer electronic ignition.

Adding the pertronix was one of the best things I've done on my bug. I also like its equal-firing scheme 'cause I dumped the stupid cook-#3 oil cooler.
