Looking into the electronic distributors and wanted to know what everyone's take is on them.. I'm reading the SVDA is the way to go from pertronix.. http://www.amazon.com/Pertronix-D186504-Flame-Thrower-Electronic-Distributor/dp/B004OXJ56O?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_2&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER (http://www.amazon.com/Pertronix-D186504-Flame-Thrower-Electronic-Distributor/dp/B004OXJ56O?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_2&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER)

  I have that (Amazon) setup and two distributors running the Pertronix add-on. All work fantastic.  I converted after being left on the side of the road the  day after installing new points and condenser. The new Bosch condenser failed.

  Just make sure to buy the Pertonix coil. Pertronix treated me right when a coil tower cracked after installation. They sent me a new one.
