5tractorguy, I put on an MSD6 and MSD coil on my 478 in the Massey tractor. The points in the distributor only act as a trigger so they do not wear like they do when running normally. It made a great difference, starts better, runs better, plugs stay cleaner with my larger jets. An MSD6al has rev limiter chip capability if you want that. There are many MSD units for sale on Ebay. I have bought five of them there to put on various pieces of equipment, cars and trucks I have. I have never run a Pertronix so I cannot offer a first hand experience to compare them to MSD. I just know we are very happy with the MSD system.
