I've got pretty close to 100,000 miles on Pertronix with only one hiccup (which
was MY mistake)...And, yes, I DO carry a dizzie with points/condenser ready to
slap in if needed...

Like I told you before Fred you need a good carb. A good german rebuilt. Read
the samba threads on the bulletproof carbs. Stay away from new brazilian or
mexican junk. A new set of points properly gapped will last 12000 miles at
least. It sounds to me like your chasing your tail. Remember sometimes you have
two or three problems going on at the same time. Fixing one does not fix all.
But if you want to throw more money at an electronic setup go ahead. Remember
down the road if you forget what lead goes where and hook it up
backwards-poof-there it goes. But you do get to witness what $100 in smoke
looks like.

If it still has the stock distributor (vacuum advance). Then buy a pertronix
unit that fits the stock distributor. The style of carburetor will come into
play as well. The brosol H30/31 carbs do not run well with certain
distributors. I usually throw 009 distributors in the garbage. Just my two cents
