That is nearly entirely not true. In a BONE STOCK vehicle, maybe..
Hotter park, no points float and in some cases multiple sparks for 30 degrees of crank rotation, more mileage per maintenance intervals AND getting rid of that damned ballast resistor.
If they were so great, they would still be using them.
Now what I have done on one of my race cars to save some bucks was bought a used MSD box at a swap meet and used the points to trigger it.
