changing from points to electronic

never understood why people were so enthralled in getting rid of the ballast resistor?
or why they wanted to go the GM route.........etc, etc...

I have never (knock on wood) had a problem with the Chrysler system (dist, ballast resistor, ecu,voltage reg,) etc.
Seems the guys that have the problems are the ones that go away from Chrysler design, and start adding generation X parts, off the shelf parts and pulling there chrysler parts.:-k
