You would also need a resistor or resistor wire to the coil, but WHY would you get rid of the electronic ign for a points type? Yeah, it's simpler, but horses are simpler than cars. don't mean I'm gonna trade down. (unless gas goes up some more).LOL

You don't necessarily need a dwell meter, while it probably is a little more accurate you can set the points with a set of feeler gauges. Set the dwell before the timing. Also when working with old points distributors when you're putting the condenser and points in make sure none of the wires ground out on the base plate.
