You'll get answers that very from the extreme like to the extreme dislike, and plenty in between as well. Personally, I put a Pertronix EI in my Oliver 1600 5-6 years ago now and have had nothing but good results with it. Before it would eat ignitions parts, and had since my Grandpa bought it new. Haven't had the cap off since I did the switch.
Other guys can't keep the kit in for a year and it burns up, and they burn up the replacements they put in too. Then they go back to the points and keep on living.
If your tractor eats points, condensors, and caps, fouls plugs and gives you fits, you've got nothing to loose. If your tractor only needs a tune up and replacement ignition parts every couple years or several hundred hours, you may be best to leave it alone. We've also got a Massey 165 w/ Continental gas, and that still runs the points. It's rarely an issue on that tractor, so in my mind it's not worth it for the 165.
