…which is another way of saying "constant hassle". The thing about points is they never work as well as an electronic system, and they begin deteriorating (wear/burn) the instant you hit the starter after replacing them.
All that is true BUT THE GUY IS TRYING TO FIX HIS CAR. Some would argue that EFI is far superior, but when you have a carb problem are you going to immediately swap in an expensive EFI just to fix what might be a simple problem?
AFTER you get things calmed down, go ahead and plan an ignition swap. When you are fighting gremlins, trying to fix problems, that is NOT generally the time to 'convert everything'
