Re: Convert points to electic

[Ollie <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the Pertronix electronic points are better than sliced bread. Have 
used them in all types of vehicles and u can tell the difference leaving 
your driveway before u get straighten up and hit it. No problem to 
change.( less than a six pack) Get them locally at a parts house and save 
shipping.
