never had a problem

if one is totally paranoid about it - carry a set of new points & condenser in your glove box

( such as - i carry an extra HEI ign module for my '84 GM truck HEI cuz i've had a couple of those fail on the road over 30 yrs - Ford Duraspark modules are also known to fail - so if paranoia is your thing - carry modules for every car you own)
MY EXPERIENCE TOO!! Thanks for the post.

I am so tired of people trashing Pertronix. In some threads I have heard many times to just leave the points in as Porsche designed it..... Porsche would have used a Hall effect system if it existed at the time.
