No.

Ofte the remans will have a different advance curve as well. Don't replace your dizzy unless it needs it.

Maybe

Not trying to be contrary, but I had the Pertronix I. Went to duraspark and the car misses less and idles better. That little computer seems to do pretty well. I did go through some work to recurve it before using it though.
