Do you mean, "Electronic"? Ah, come on, you know that the stuff in today's vehicles is just smoke and mirrors! I guess that since my truck doesn't get daily use, the old Kettering points and condenser (now called a capacitor ) seems to work for me. And thank goodness for finding a used original coil instead of that silkworm coil that was in it...
You know Don, my truck runs great on the original distributor and it's parts, (points, condenser, etc) were replaced.
I still have a Pertronix replacement, but since the truck starts and runs great, I haven't got around to changing it out.
The old saying applies here, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!".

I agree. I have points and condenser in the '65 Corvair. My cousin (three doors away) has points and condenser in his '65 Corvair. They start and run just great. I can actually work on them! My cousin... that is a different story. He has never changed oil in a vehicle and he has instructed his kids that his eulogy should include same
BTW, here are our two Corvairs in my cousin's garage. Mine is the one on the right... the one that is NOT leaking Oil
Nice old cars Don. Some history behind those.

After several coil changes, I found out it wasn’t the coil, after all. There was a tiny bit of corrosion on the metal plate holding the capacitor down. This was arcing ever so slightly and would kill the ignition. It mimicked a bad coil almos exactly.
