<x-flowed>I've always always always have had good luck with electronic 
points...Keith is the one that had that problem.  I did use the Bug-Pak 
electronic IGNITION (not POINTS) from Jacobs and it failed on me.  A 
"power transistor" fried and they fixed it for $85.  Worked great then 
failed again though the second time was my fault for leaving it 
connected to constant power -- DOH!  It's sitting, collecting dust, 
waiting until I have some money to get it repaired.
