Thanks
Thank you drwet. Appreciate the advise. I would like to keep the original look as the car is all original, numbers matching.

nothing wrong with a "good" set of points when set and adjusted properly.
i had the "Breakerless SE" one wire setup, had my dissy rebuilt and have gone back to points.

I went with the Breakerless SE for several reasons. It's a 15 minute swap, retains stock appearance, no running of extra wires required, can swap back to points in 15 minutes, and its dependable. YMMV

Pertronix and a new coil in my 74 350.
Can't stand points and will be replacing the carb maybe next year with Fi-Tech.
There are some things from the old days I can't stand. Others I love

I put a Pertronix on my '66 and ran it that way for 20 years without ever looking at it. In those days the Pertronix required two wires, so the appearance wasn't perfect. I understand they have since come up with a one wire system that is undetectable without removing the distributor cap.
