HiYa Guys-n-Dolls, For the record, I am of the driver camp. My Grey Ghost (1965 Imperial) has electronic ignition, 1965 LeBaron buckets (Its a Crown) and hopefully disc brakes soon. Definitly not a purist, but so far today I have enjoyed the discussion imeansly! I felt that Hugh gave a very eloquent dissertation on his point of view. But the only way I will go back to points is if I get a Prestolite dual point (:-})! As far as Kenyon's suggestion (a great one!) Let me be the first to offer to change Bill's alternator to a Chrysler model if he is so Dis-positioned. He buys the parts, brings his car to Glendale(not tooo far away) I get a wiring diagram from the club, and I will do it for Gratis..Nada..Nothing! Just food for thought.....and the Force is with us!
