FWIW,
If one installs a pointless (no pun intended) system in a distributor that
is already 40-50 years old (worn out) then the advance curve will
undoubtedly speed up due to the loss of friction from the points and cam.
So, if you're worried about performance (and most seem to be) then have the
distributor re-curved after installing the electronic stuff and while you're
at it have the technician plot the difference in the performance of points
vs. pointless. I think we'd all like to know what the actual gains are aside
from not having to physically change a set of points periodically.

John,
Sounds like you really need to do a disk brake conversion on the front
before these other items. As for the list that was given I would go
with the dual point from Mallory. The beauty is that you can tune it to
your engine. The advance curve is adjustable to suit various driving
situations. The only problem I have ever had with one is the condenser
and that is an easy fix, just remember to rough the condenser up with a
little sandpaper to make sure you have it grounded when installing a new
one. If you have a stock engine the Petronix would be the way to go, if
it is performance and adjustability the dual point is the way to go.
JMHO

OK. I just installed a stainless exhaust system and am ready for the
next
non original project.
What should I do???
