I can relate. I also have an old Accel 37100 dual point (no tach drive though) I used in my Chevelle for about 12 years before switching over to an MSD unit when I put injection on it. Still sitting in my Delco parts cabinet with cap and wires the past 5 years. Not worth anything but can't bring myself to toss in the trash. Back in the 70's, Accel and Mallory units were all we had - I preferred the Accel cause they took standard GM points and both are externally adjustable.

I have a Accel dual point distributor with the mechanical tack that has been sitting on the shelf in the original boxes for years. I should sell it because I probably will never use it, but if I do then I can't say I have it. Pretty dumb huh?

But then again, there is probably somebody out there that wants boxes.
