I agree ^. After fighting bad points and condensers, I put a pertronix ignitor III in mine. I read of the bolt-on ring loosing magnets in the other Pertronix units and the ignitor III is lobe sensing. The engine ran so much better than with even new points. It is a little spendy, but so are points and condensers these days.
