RE: Pertronix or Mopar?

[SB <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

Thank you to all whom replied to this question!
It is for my friend's car, and he wants to keep it looking stock.  He 
asked my advice, and I was concerned he might be giving up spark power 
and/or timing accuracy by going with a Pertronix.  I will tell him to go 
Pertronix based on all your advice.
