Interesting topic. I was just talking to my wife about this subject the other day. I have a Pertronix Igniter III distributor that I love for now, as long as it works. It has multi-spark and rev-limiter all in the module that is inside the distributor. I know guys have been having problems with MSD boxes for some time. My opinion is it is old tech. Which is fine as long as it is reliable and cost efficient. Look at your phone; it can do 100 times the functions in a small case.
That being said as a guy that grew up in the sixties with points, I realize I am vulnerable with an electronic distributor if I broke down in an inconvenient place. Other than being towed I would have limited options readily available to get it running again on the side of the road. I have been considering buying an old points style distributor and carrying it in my trunk.
