As I recall you're still running with a points system. If so, this discussion doesn't really apply. Although, I wonder what increasing your dwell would do to coil temperature.

I think but as yet cannot prove a big part of what is aggravating our coils is the dwell common in electronic ignition. What's our A-4 specified dwell, 31 degrees? Well, my Pertronix measured at 62 degrees and there ain't nuthin' I can do about it.

I can't see any other difference between the two (points and EI) but this difference is significant.
