Unless you like setting and replacing points, I'd say go electronic. That
means installing a Pertronix unit in a stock distributor or purchasing a
Gary Boone Electronic Ignition dizzy. 

Subject previously discussed in depth here and the 311s.org forums, so I
recommend searching the archives.

FWIW, I -LOVE- my GB EI dizzy.Replacing the points with electronic

My 69 1600 is running like crap. I took it for a possible tune up and was
told the distributor shaft was worn and no point on setting the points. Two
options given, get another distributor or go with an electronic one for
$179.00.

Any thoughts on where I could get a usable distributor?
Any thoughts on whether it's better to go electronic?

Thanks....
