Hi Bob,
Thanks for the information. We can always count on you to help us out when needed. The distributor currently in the car is a dual point. As mentioned it has been there for the 38 years I've had it. Who knows how many years it was running before that. I've replaced the internals over the years as needed, thought about pertronix but never pulled the trigger. Maybe the least expensive option is find a shop to do a professional rebuild on it?
