Short story on those, I had a customer with a 69S MFI that was pretty much stock with open exhaust, he vintage raced it in HSR/SVRA for years, we freshened it up and ran it on the engine dyno and sent him on his way to Watkins Glen, he had bought one of these kits to replace his points, well it was a rainy day at the Glen so he installed it and the thing started ,ran the rest of the weekend but felt down on power. When he returned we put it back on the dyno and it was down almost 20 hp, he got another kit, same results.. we put the points back in and the next 3 pulls were back to where he was before, It started ran fine no hicups but was not as good as it was, so I guess if you put it in your pickup truck or whatever you may not notice the loss and would be happy not to deal with points.
