Happy New Year!

Recently, I've decided to upgrade my /5's ignition system with an upgraded higher watt stator, new 3 ohm coil, higher voltage regulator, battery, and a more modern diode board. 

What do you guys think of the aftermarket electronic ignition systems out there? Is there one that is better than the others? Or more reliable? I don't have an issue with points and condenser, but if switching to an electronic unit will increase the overall reliability or performance of the ignition system, I might be convinced to convert. 

Thanks!

I am not sure that the upgrades you propose buys a sufficient dose of "more better" to justify the cost.

If you are upgrading your alternator with a product from EME, then I would suggest including their Enduralast/Sachse ignition system, which is “crank fired” with a pickup on the front of the alternator. Using this ignition you can leave the points in place as a backup.

@8053 It was all necessary in my opinion, the charging system had a lot of issues.
