When I took my '65 with a 305e from California to Alaska in 2008 my main problem related to points and condenser. It was always getting out of tune. It turned out to be a bad condenser which I had trouble replacing.
Getting parts on the road was not easy. Carrying tuning equipment and every possible part is not what I want to do when I am driving to Newfoundland in 2015.
I went for the electronic distributor along with a corresponding coil to hopefully avoid these problems. Time will tell, but keeping it simple sure makes sense to me when I am going to be a long way from home.
