Thanks for that little tidbit. Learn something new every day.
I will admit that doing the points and condenser was a tougher job than I anticipated. With the distributor at nearly a right angle to the block and down in a hole, along with itty bitty screws, it was a backache inducer. Crawling under the car several times to pick up said screws didn't help, either. I have a spare distributor so there is a very good chance that there is an electronic ignition in my future. Rock Auto has a 6volt positive ground system for under $200. Something to think about, anyway.
