I converted from points to MP electronic years ago, back when the entire kit was like $112. Was much easier to start, and have had little problems. Ballast resistor did crap out on me once, and I learned the hard way to always keep a spare in the glove box. This is just for a regular driver with mostly stock 318.
The only thing weird I experienced was hooking up an aftermarket tach. The moment I did that things got weird and I couldn't get the car to start. Disconnect the tach, all is well. Never did try to find the problem, just left the tach disconnected. Hmmm.
