I wonder why folks are so against EIs? I had 2 Ford Ns that I converted. Both perform flawlessly as does the M Farmall with EI. Newest conversion is 5 years or so old.
The big issue here is high quality point ignition components are fast becoming a thing of the past. Last set of points I purchased were Standard brand. Most people at the time considered Standard, Blue Streak and Echlin to be the top brands on the market. They lasted all of 20 hours because of a defect in the points I missed when I installed them.
You guys who brag about how long you can make points last are a big part of the problem. No company is going to keep making high quality items they can't sell. First thing they do is drop the the quality to try to still make a profit. Then they look for other items to make that are profitable and drop what isn't making money.
And don't pat yourself on the back too much. The average person with a minimum of training can install points.
