F/U Pertronix Ignitor

SO......... I have a bone stock slant six in my 70 Swinger. points, condenser, rotor, wires, balast resistor. This Pertronics thingy goes in place of the points. Just one wire to a stock balast resistor, one wire to the coil, a small hole drilled into the dizzy housing and thats it? Does this give me spark more on the lines of electronic ignition? I gotta look into this. With the installation of a dual carb intake, and split hedders I am looking for just a bit more pep out of the car while not giving up the reliability and driveabilty of the stock system I have now. My car NEVER fails to start and it can sit in rush hour traffic for a long time with no issues. NONE of my other vehicles are able to do this!

It has 2 wires that connect directly to the coil. The red wire hooks up to the positive side and the black wire hooks up to the negative side. There's also a magnetic trigger that slides down over the point rubbing block, You don't always need to drill the hole bigger, sometimes it's big enough already. Worse case scenario is you have to enlarge it a a little bit. It is essentially a compact electronic ignition unit. A point system is a pretty fool proof system but the drawback is you have to swap points out every so often, most of the time they only last about 10,000 miles. And they don't produce as hot of a spark.
