I don't know Blue, I think I would talk anyone away from points, just for the reason you stated. Reliability - especially high rpm== which can equal performance. Less moving parts is always a good thing .

Stronger spark helps with lean conditions where the burn rate is slower.

Electronic ignition to me has always been considered a performance upgrade with respect to points. IMHO

Worked great except for my 280z tach. I did everything as I was supposed to ,but maybe the tach is shot. It pegs out. I did try the 10K Ohm resistor too. I'll do a search for the autometer tach.

Thanks

Figured out the tach redlining problem. It was a loose resistor in the tach circuit board. All good now.
