I just installed a pertronix unit on my 69 ghia and the difference in smoothness and performance was dramatic ! I've used Pertronix before on other vehicles with similar results. The points and condenser now go in the trunk as my emergency kit. Just wondered how many folks here are running with this setup or crane on an otherwise stock vehicle.....
Just to be clear, your car is an AutoStick, right? I seem to recall, perhaps incorrectly, that the Pertronix would not function well or at all with an A/S.
