I am not sure it this applies, but I have a Petronix in my 65 Comet that I used to replace the points. However it went bad twice. Once the car just quit running and no fire at all. Next time it had a weak spark at the plug. I had the distributor checked and found that the shaft had worn so much it was wobbling a little and that would throw off the Petronix. I put the points back in and drove it until I could get a new distributor. I now have the Petronix in the new distrinbutor, but carry the points in the trunk just in case.
