Del, I believe in having original factory equipment as much as the next guy, but speaking purely from a performance standpoint (especially if youre gonna use it more then show it) the electronic ignition is farrrrrrrrr superior. I always highly recommend any electronic switch be coupled up with a high energy coil also to get the most bang for the buck and enhanced performance the electronic switch has to offer. The electronic switch uses a solid state device to switch coil current eliminating the problems associated with mechanical point bouncing and ringing yielding a more positive and faster switch without the associated problems of burning and carbon (voltage dropping resistance) and condensors going bad. One limiting factor in the points ignition is the amount of current the coil can conduct and the points have to switch (around 4 amps or so) to avoid premature burn up but using an electronic switch and a high energy coil its theoretically possible to pump more current through a coil and to store more energy which gets expended in part across the plugs gap in the form of Volts x Amps x Time for a hotter higher energy spark to better ignite the fuel. Points begin to deteriorate the minute they are used while an elec switch (if good) deteriorates little with age.

There are advantages to the points in that a simple clean up and/or regap may get her running and back home while if an elec switch craps out YOURE SCREWED LOL, plus the points n condensor are much cheaper (initially at least).

Pay your money n make your choices, its your tractor n no one elses business how you wish to equip it I figure.
