I had the opposite Tom.
When Jeff at Advanced Distributors rebuilt my dizzy,
I asked him to install the Pertronix and also build me
a plate for points and condenser can- drop in and go.
The Pertronics failed at less than 200 miles; Jeff's
points lasted over 5000 miles before I replaced them.
I get about 2000 miles from a condenser.
Honest man that he is, Jeff did a tune-up inspection of my
dizzy in January this year; also sent me three new red rotors
and new points as well as a replacement Pertronix: all gratis!!
I carry 6 sets of spare points, 6 condenser cans and 8 spare
rotors, one spare dizzy cap, plug wires and plugs ,, just in case.
Your choice. For a non-mechanic like me-
I'll stay with the points and cans and rotors.
best regards,
Dale(tinster)
