hold vacuum

3 any mods recommended before converting to electronic ???

What type of electronic OE or other?

 

[jazak5]

well, I'm going to covert the the dual point to electronic///but I remember something about working with the mech weights/filing something

I would sell the dual point and get whichever electronic you want. Those factory dual point distributors don't grow on trees anymore and someone might give you a decent price for it if it's correct for their car.

Should have one you change the spring and spacers over under the nipple so you know. Let me get a picture, They are getting hard to get now.

Only NOS one I have that will work properly. it down for the price $80 and the ride. Expensive distributor.
