Yes, You can..
I know a few guys who thought the same thing....
but You only get ONE chance of getting the wires correct...
if not You blow the sensor......
Now I had a High Power ignition system [in a box] and still used points...
Now the engine started first time every time...
and the points didn't burn etc as there was very little voltage going thru them...
but the points still wore down where they rub on the shaft..
I still used to adjust the points every few months... and the timing was always spot on...
what I didn't realise , was that the rubbing block was made from plastic and it wore down and shorted out and burnt My High Energy ignition out...
Good quality points use bakelite for the rubbing block..
they outlast the points....
I just connected up the condensor to new points and away I went...
I changed to a new bosch SVDA distributor a while back and I have a Pertronix kit to go into the distributor..
