Over the last number of months I have read both sides of the argument for installing one of the Pertronix products and getting rid of the old points and condenser arrangement. My skill level with anything mechanical is just above zero. Yet, I took the risk of buying the product 1381A and the suggested coil and installed these with minimal difficulty on my 1969 Dodge Monaco with a mostly stock 383 4 Barrel . On the second turn of the key the car fired up. I have not driven the car for maybe a hundred yards to move it from one spot on my property to another. I do need to get it road tested and then probably adjust the timing a little, but I believe the cost was well worth the effort it's save me in having the car hauled from its current location down to the nearest service station and then pay them to set new set of points that I would have replaced the old set of Points with. Anyway, for what it's worth, I'm glad I tried the product and hope I'll be is happy with it as I am now down the road. Thank you for everyone who's contributed on both sides of this argument as I've learned a great deal in the process. Carl
