My 39 year old Alfa had normal "mechanical" points ignition from new. Way back when I thought I was smarter, I replaced it with an aftermarket pointless ignition, and that is the only thing - ever - that has rendered the car immobile and requiring a mechanic callout. Just happened to be 100km from home too. Returning it to points ignition restored continuing reliability. The Webers require regular tweaking, and replacing points and checking ignition timing at the same time is no big deal.
Cheers,
Glen
