Not long after I bought my Plus 4, I went to electronic ignition trying to figure out what electric bugaboo led to my car having intermittent starting issues. Now 5 years older, and smarter, and finally knowing the answer (faulty wire from ignition switch to coil) I could have predicted it was not the distributor. But I tried electronic anyway (noticed no diff). then I sent the distributor to a guy for formal rebuild, and he set me back to points and says I won’t regret it. Years later I am inclined to agree.
Why do folks want to get away from points? They seem simple, reliable, robust and cheap. And you get to use that cool little Lucas key thingamabob with gap gauge. Am I missing something?
If you have Weber 40s on a crossflow it's almost impossible to get at the distributor to adjust points so you need a system you can just forget about.
