Driving along yesterday, I suddenly lost power and after coasting to the side of the road with suspected fuel pump/relay issue and getting towed to my shop it turns out I had a no spark issue - being stopped next to a busy road makes it difficult to hear a CDI whine. My mechanic says no replacement CDIs are available any more and recommends a Permatune with matching coil.

Car is a 83 SC (145k milew)- everything is bone stock and original down to the paint and I am not a big fan of aftermarket as a rule

What is the hive wisdom? Get my CDI repaired via our host, Permatune, or MSD? Too bad points didn't come with these cars - simple and always work :-)
