So just keep your points setup and reinstall if the Pertronix setup fails.
Points require effort on the regular. You WILL have to adjust points. This is
worse on an engine that sits around a lot.
You MIGHT have to replace a hall effect sensor on a Pertronix unit...

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
AFAIK ours is an "Ignitor" system

I looked on their website (https://pertronixbrands.com/) and found many
offerings, but none specifically for tractors.
Which one did you use?
Relatively reliable up until you leave the ignition on and not at all reliable
if the bushing in the distributor wears at all.
I put a Pertronix kit into my 1952 Farmall Super M and it's been flawless. The
tractor started right up and has run perfectly from day 1. The only problem
I've had
Points and condenser are pretty reliable.

I had a coworker who did one of the Holley throttle body conversions on an old
Ford truck. It was about 4-5 years ago, so I’m sure things have been improved
as they went along, but in his case, it was pretty easy, according to him. I
know he had to add some sensors or signals for the unit, but

I've been trying to resist buying an early 1950s Chevy dump truck. If I do buy
it it'll definitely get a Pertronix electronic ignition. If the carb gave any
trouble

It depends.
There was a company (“something Engineering”) in CA that made retrofit kits for
some Solex 4A1 applications using a Holley 5200, which was a two-barrel
progressive carb that was used by Ford and other companies in that same time
frame. I did a Holley 5200 conversion on an M130 that

Is it possible to change to a different carburetor?
Craig
Yes, they are. However, I was never a fan of the M110, which was a bit unfair
as I never owned one. I just heard complaints about top end problems, like
valves and valve guides, that sort of stuff.
That and I recall one I looked at was normally aspirated, that is, it had a
Solex 4A1 carb,
Those are period correct.
