I'm getting rid of my points on my 80' and am not sure which part to buy. I've read all the talk on luvtruck on which one people are using, but im still confused. If i could get some advice thatd be great! heres what ive got so far

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pnx-1641

or

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pnx-1643

but i went on pertronix website and their 1641 is classified as an "ignitor II" does that mean this one is an "upgrade"? if so will the hotter spark be okay?
http://pertronix.carshopinc.com/product ... /104/91641

the features of an ignitor II are:
Ignitor II systems develop up to 4 times more energy between 3000 and 5000 RPM than standard ignition systems. High RPM performance is improved when used with the Flame-Thrower II super low resistance (0.6 ohms) 45,000 volt coil.

Adaptive dwell maintains peak energy throughout the entire RPM range, reducing misfires while improving engine performance.

Develops on average 4 times more available energy between 3000 and 5000 RPM, and 2 times more available plug voltage.

Peak current level is reached just prior to spark for maximum energy without the heat build-up, increasing coil and module life.

Adjusts spark timing at higher RPMs to compensate for the inherent electronic delay.

Senses startup and develops more energy for quicker, easier starting. Built in reverse polarity and over current protection shuts down the system, preventing component damage.

if you use the flame thrower 2, you can remove the resistor that is on the fender well or you can use the stock coil and leave the resistor hooked up ( you have to use the resistor with stock coil).
