Just keep your stock points and condenser with you and change them back. Easy to do. Then you don't have to wonder whether your dist. or ECU is the problem........................MOThe other item that came in conversation is parts. Lets face it, everything breaks eventually. If you put this or any aftermarket kit on your car that replacement parts need to be ordered, your down on the side of the road.
The plus with the Mopar system is you can walk into NAPA or Autozone and get a ballast or ECU off the shelf.
In my book that was priceless. Just my 2 cents.

I am trying to understand . Isn't the condenser with wire , all contained inside the distributor on your car? Maybe you are talking of the wire from the dist. to the coil. On my stock points type dist. the grommet can easily be pushed out of the dist. body-allowing the coil eyelet to pass through..............................MOIn theory that is what you are supposed to be able to. In actuality at least with mine. The eyelet on the condenser wire and the eyelets on the pertronix were too big to fit through the hole in the side of the distributor. So I unless you are going to carry extra eyelets and a wire stripper/crimper. The old points won't help you when you break down.
I will certainly agree with that! I have pertronix on my 56 Chrysler Hemi and not a single problem in 8 years. Another dist with points has been in the trunk all that time---just in case 8-) ...................................MOSorry I meant the wire from the distributor to the coil. The 2 wires for the pertonix didnt fit through that hole on my distributor. The design of the pertronix lends itself to being a very reliable piece. Odds are yours if you install one may never fail.
