The electronic conversion is nice if you want to keep the points look of the distributor and need a small cap for clearance.
how old are you shawnlee never had a car with points? i had the accel HD points and every two week you would have to reset the dwell if you run it hard they would go past 6500 easly with the accel and they made blue streak to that were good .alot of boats still run a mallory point dist when i work on the boats in the late 80
