Don't know about the coil but I do run a Pertronix "pointless" in one 280s and had the Jacobs Pro-Street Pak on the other. Both do great, no complaints!

I just installed the Pertronix ignior ll as well as the "flame thrower" coil. All seems well and is working as advertised. I would not expect to feel any differance but tuning has been vastly simplified. I put the coil on simply to get away from plug fouling (45,000 V vs. 25,000 V) and to keep things simple.

My next step will be to go with the low resistance wires and open my plug gap to the recommended 0.45" vs the standard 0.32".

My experience has been the same as Litton's. 2yrs and no problems. The ignitor unit & coil has really helped out my car. Best improvement for $100 out there.
