Anyone Ever Use Pertronix in a Point Dizzy??

Was it worth it or would swapping out to a HEI be better??

Thanks.

I had a point dizzy but I didnt do the conversion. Was having issues with it. I just went ahead and got the dizzy from pertronix already converted.

Has a nice stock look to it and it runs great.

I've done it to two vehicles and it works great and is very easy to install (5 minutes or less). If your dizzy has issues (work shaft, gear etc), then I would upgrade to HEI for only $20 or so more....
