The advantage is that it is maintenance free. The disadvantage is 
that it may have trouble fitting in the type 3 dist as there is less 
room in there than in the type 1 dist. I have heard that they have 
started making a smaller version that would help.

There is also the problem that to make things fit in the type 3 dist, 
they provide a custom modified rotor. This means that you can no 
longer buy a replacement rotor anywhere else.

These comments apply only to replacing the ignition points. I 
guess I can't tell which points you were asking about.
