Dan- I use Pertronix on all my stuff with an exception to my truck which I drive every day had Accel points. The Accel points have never given me any trouble whatsoever and I have well over 18,000+ miles on them and i've never needed to adjust then since initial installation. They've been in my truck for about 2 or almost 3 years now. First time I've ever used Accel points before. I hear ya, I normally have been using Niehoffs or the other brands and they have been nothing but a PIMA. I'm definately impressed with the Accel points and will continue to use them.

I have Pertronix units on everything thing else and have installed them in sever other friends' cars and customers' cars. I swear by them. Never had one fail on me yet. But like anything electrical I still carry a set of points, just in case... I have a pertronix unit on my race car and am running a Mallory Promaster coil on it. Seems to work like a champ. My bro has had his in his maverick since the dayhe could drive and that was about 6 years ago. Never a problem and all we do is just replace the "factory stock" points style cap and rotor as normal wear occured. Pertronix is DEFINATELY the way to go!
