I follow a boating forum as well and folks on that forum rave about how
great the Pertronix setups are on old MerCruiser engines. They start
faster etc. BUT some folks have also noted that they sometimes just die
and leave them dead in the water. Not a quick fix if you have to order a
new unit. Points will more likely give you some warning that trouble is
brewing (like hard starting) and sometimes can be resurrected, at least
temporarily by filing or resetting.

I put a Pertronix kit into my 1952 Farmall Super M and it's been
flawless.
I looked on their website (https://pertronixbrands.com/) and found many
offerings, but none specifically for tractors.
Which one did you use? Was it a capacitor-discharge system?
I need to find a real 12v coil that I can use to replace the 6v unit so
I can get rid of the resistor pack.
Pertronix has coils on their website, but they seem to be geared toward
their capacitor-discharge ignition systems.
Thanks,
Craig
