Pertronix are good units, and the people at the factory are great to deal with. Pay attention to what the instructions say about using a non-pertronix coil. They say it has to have at least 1.5 ohms across the dist-power terminals. Mine did and ran fine for several years, but the ignition quit one night about 150 miles from home. I put my spare set of points back in and drove on. I ordered a new Pertronix and it propmptly burned up. Finally the car quit running with points, and I found that the coil was shorting, and the resistence had fallen to 0. I bought a new pertronix coil and they warranted the burned up ignitor, even though my coil burned it up.
