Dumping the points ---> Your thoughts

Thanks Trail you answered my question perfectly..
As to the wonder why.. At 50+ years of age I'm not keen on chasing down parts in a wrecker and really not interested on breaking down on some hi-way with a use part. 20 years ago maybe but now better safe than sorry.

I understand, but you are misunderstanding.
Parts can be gotten brand new anywhere any day of the week for the HEI units, and they do simply plug in for replacement.

It's the parts you are considering that you are not going to find and have to order and wait for.
That's ok, no matter what we all say some people are just not convinced. :D

And you are very welcome for the information.
