 I forgot another thing about Pertronix. Isn’t there a 3 degree retard of cylinder #3 that the pertronix does not allow for?

 I keep forgetting things , must be part of being 71 .

The Pertronix won't work any better than stock points. They do have the 
advantage of not using the old cam, so if your cam is too badly worn for 
points to last, the Pertronix will fix that.

The Pertronix will also work nicely with the Delta Mark 10 CDI units, and that 
is a nice combo, because now there's nothing to wear out. The Pertronix do, 
however, have a bit of a reputation of failing after a few years. I've been 
using the Delta CDIs since about 1966 and have had 2 failures in that time. 
Both were easily fixed.

The Pertronix I've seen have all been completely potted, making repairs 
nearly impossible.
