Durwood: The Pertronix is a good electronic points replacement using the original distributor. It installs easily and works very well. The problem is that it is very easily damaged by voltage spikes -- ask me how I know. If you do install the Pertronix be sure to carry a set of points in your glovebox as a backup. You want the HEI sold by Jim Langdon. He is a retired Chevy engineer and came up with an adapdation for our old trucks using the HEI from the Chevy S10 pickup. If you call him you can talk with him yourself.
