<html><body>Ira-sounds like you still are having issues with the distributor settings. One thing that was not discussed, surrounding the pinging, was the vacuum advance diaphram. Over the years they are known to perish. Use a mity-vac or yourself to suck on the tube and watch the movement of the point plate in the distributor. If it does not move, you have no vacuum advance. This will affect drivability.<div><br></div><div>As far as which electronic unit to add, I am a fan of Pertronix: https://pertronixbrands.com/ as there are countless units out there with no issues. Some do go bad naturally, and some if key is left on for extended periods, but they seem to be the best overall. For a trip to California, I would suggest you carry a spare distributor set up with good points, or at least a set of points and condenser as backup. Electronics are just that until they fail.

<div>I want to try an electronic ignition kit to see if my
Distributor points plate is causing issues. What say you the hive
mind on best kits and which to avoid?</div>
<div>If someone has a set up collecting dust and wants to sell,
email me directly. I need one soon to put some miles on it before
heading out on May12th for Conclave.<br></div>
<div>Thanks<br></div>
