Distributor is good and tight. Parts car was low mileage but very rusty and had been vandalized. I bought and always try to buy the "premium" parts. Can't remember the brand but its whatever oreillys had.
I helped a friend put a pertronix conversion on his jeep cj years ago. It worked great but his points worked fine also at the time. He just wanted some extra reliability off road.
I plan on going EFI in the next year. Most of them require a special distributor to control timing. So using this OE distributor in the meanwhile is saving me a couple bucks. And learn something at the same time. My multimeter does have a dwell setting, so I'll use that and see what happens. But I'll stop by the parts store and try to buy a dedicated dwell meter. Thanks for all the help!
