I can tell you from experience that a Pertronix Ignitor will give a Buick 401-425 V-8 about 20 horses, all other things being equal. My old TO-20 Fergie seems to have more oomph as well, though not officially dynoed. I restore/overhaul those old Buicks, and would not even consider putting one back in service without electronic ignition. Decent points are non-existant. But, as mentioned earlier, electronic ignition will do nothing to help a worn-out or poorly maintained engine. As part of an overhaul, restoration or 12-volt conversion, Ignitors are the ONLY way to go. Regards.......P
