170 ignition parts info needed

Any idea how many miles are on your car? You can remove the distributor and check it for wear, if it's good, you can go on from there. Also it will be easy to inspect the plastic distributor drive gear. Mine was cracked (about to fail) so I replaced it. Also used precision shims to set the end play per the FSM spec. This on a car that had 97,000 miles on it.

Maybe this is weird but I wanted to experience my slant as if it was 1964 so I used points and other ignition parts recommended by SlantSixDan. Including the extended reach NGK plugs. I like Denso wires so used those too. 8,000 miles later and I have done NOTHING to the ignition. I'll probably do an inspection in the spring. I have a NOS electronic dustributor on the shelf for later.

No need to get fancy on a slant, if everything is right they run well.
