points on pointless

1) points will never leave you completely stranded, pointless will.
I have never had a traditional points system cut out at 70 mph, I have had several pointless and electronic ignition cars that would do that at some time or another.

2) the reason for pointless is to replace worn out distributors as it's the shaft woble that causes performance problems with points distributors

3) points will essentially last forever with an electronic high energy ignition that is only using the points as a trigger for the electronic system, so points + plus MSD, plus a decent dist can work really well.

4) comparing the performance of a good points system and a pointless system that is not a high energy ingnition, there will be no difference, so just putting in a pertronix will only give you an improvement if you have a problem that needs to be fixed.

5) I have changed my position on this as a result of testing in the last year -
any performance B20 should have a high energy ignition, whether with or without points, as with it you can tune for better overall performance - including fuel mileage.
