I am going to replace the points and condenser on my 70 Dart slant six later today and I wanted to see if anyone here had any tips for doing this. Looking at the placement and angle of the distributor it may be tight working down there. Any tricks for doing it easily without pulling the distributor? I plan on eventually converting to the Pertronix Ignitor electronic ignition setup if I can find one for a good price. right now I am going to keep the points.
According to the service manual the points are to be gapped at .020 and timing set at TDC. I have a nice vintage 1958 Sun Power timing light,but no Dwell meter. any tips for setting the timing and gap correctly without a dwell meter? or will setting it to the factory specs get me where I need to be without one? Thanks in advance for any help/advice you may offer.
