Electronic Distributor
While getting a new tire put on a rim at a local auto shop they said that i needed a new coil, so he then suggested that i put an electronic one in... Now i considered doing this a lot before but i decided i wasnt gunna put any more money in it untill i get my new engine.... but it looks like im gunna have to wait a while for that. Anyway he quoted a price of about 350$ for a new electric distributor and all the stuff needed. I am definetly not going to get it done there... this is work that i can do. but i was wondering what u all think of that price. seems pretty high. Well since he said he couldnt get it started cus of the coil... he had to put a ford coil in there. he said he just had it layin around and he'll only charge me 10 for it but then he charged me 60$ for putting new points in and doing all the wiring for the coil...Just thought i would share this with u all

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Feb-02 AT 05:33 PM (EST)]First time posting here, but it hit close to home.
I've ordered the Pertronix Ignitor conversion kit and will be swapping the points and condenser for the electronic set. The whole set-up with shipping cost about $75 and I'll never need to change points again, I've already got the flame thrower coil, so there should be a good increase in performance.
If nothing else, no more points to deal with...

Hi Chris, Did you ever read any of those articles I sent you about
HOW TO DIY repairs ?
I must have posted 5 articles for you to read and changing points was one of them and timing.
