If it has the original "Lean Burn" ignition get rid of that. Just a Mopar electronic or even a Pertronix in a old point type distributor.

My question is does it absolutely have to be points to benefit or can it be a newer electronic style? Is there something to benefit from setting the points differently or what? I have never touched a points style.
