One of the main reasons for using electronic ignition is that the points wear on the contact point with the shaft and change their settings as they wear they also pit and wear on the actual points where the spark happens and reduce their efficiency over time. The EI that Dan has ordered is the same as what I put in mine quite a while ago and has no mechanical or electrical contact points to wear.
