Paul ... for what it`s worth , I have the Pertronix on my 63 1/2 Galaxie ( 427 ) and have had no problems for over 6 years . Having said that , if you look up some posts on Pertronix , it appears that when they shifted their production out of the US , problems started and the units became less reliable . When I take the Galaxie out , I always carry the original points , condenser and mounting plate assembly just in case and changeover is fairly easy if need be ... also , there is a wiring change involved . The Galaxie has no ballast resister ... I also made sure all wiring was as direct as I could get it , power straight from the battery and I had a good solid ground to the engine block .
