Put a points distributor in it. That will run forever. You'll need to adjust them once in awhile though.

LOL- EMP prof, too. Can't say that about my HEI. Can you still buy dwell meters, though ?

I grabbed an old Sears tach/dwell/voltage tester from a thrift store last year for the whopping sum of $4.00. Some wires were chewed up but new wire and clips on the end and it works great.

People think I'm nuts for this but a solid source for real GM parts is the boneyard. I have pulled modules from parts cars and gotten a long life from them.

Nope, you’re not nuts!!! I do the same thing. Unfortunately, my supply has almost vanished, and they aren’t in salvage yards anymore.

I’d rather have a good used 20 year old Delco module than the crap they are selling at the stores today.

I was lucky to buy a few $50 Skip White distributors before he quit selling them. They are over 10 years old now and still work great. I would still try some different chinese distributors that are on the market if I needed one.
