Pertronix = an electronic switch to replace the points. Good idea for anyone who is not comfortable dealing with them.

Good to have along, if the electronics were to fail at an inconvenient place. I used to carry a spare distributor instead. Takes up more space, but it's easier to replace the entire dist, than to convert the Pertronix back to points.

They won't show any power gain, and may not last as long as OEM replacements. Stick with the AC-Delco parts that your car was designed to use.
