Pertronix are just "electronic" points so a low wattage light on the "-" side of the coil will still work like before.

New rings? Don't "take it easy," run the snot out of it. Just avoid the edges of the curve (don't lug or overrev). Putting a nice heavy load on the rings help them seat properly. Being a baby is an invitation to blow-by and crappy performance forever.

Just my opinion (from massive reading and some experience).
