There are 3 or 4 other threads on the BBS from the past few days/weeks about the Pertronix.

I installed one in my 72 T and it works fine. I wanted to get rid of the points which were giving me a lot of trouble and the Pertronix does that job well. My tach still works too which I was somewhat impressed by (since it is driven directly off the points).

Pertronics OK on '76 2.7

Mine works just fine. Regardless of the system you pick, you won't miss your points!

I used them and they failed....a lot of others have had similar problems.....if they work for others, great. Not for Me.

Crane MSD and the Fireball Ignitor are the answers for me. You may need the tach adapter as well .... They worked VERY well on my 2.0/6.

Just my 2 cents.
