is there a down side to swapping out the points for the Pertronix ignitor electronic ignition?

He said remove the dizzy to reinstall the condenser.
I carry a spare set of points and condenser. If I can find another decent Bosch VJR4-BR8 dizzy for a good price, I'd have it ready with points gapped and condenser installed, ready to swap out if needed. Connect your radio/stereo to the fuse block or directly to the battery (with a fuse), bypassing the ignition switch altogether (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ... just don't forget to turn it off ... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I carry a spare distributor with points and condenser installed, just get the engine to TDC then swap dizzy and drive home to re-time. |
