I ran Mopar points for at least 2 years and then another 4 on a Mallory dual point on a Cleveland and I never touched them. I ran an MSD and that ***** left me stranded twice! 2nd time I reached for the points distributor in the trunk and it got me home. ECU's can fail, pick-ups can fail, grounds can become loose...and these are not things you can hot wire to get home let alone diagnose on side of road. Knocking points is like knocking carbs...and plenty still choose to run a carb over EFI.
