when points go bad......

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-Sep-02 AT 04:22 PM (EST)]i don't seem to be getting any spark to my plugs on my '67 300 6 IL even though my coil and wires are good. could this be points?
how much is that petronix module (or whatever it's called) that replaces the points? is it a modification i should consider?

Absolutely! I had the exact same problem in my '65 240. I bought it from Summit Racing for a total of about $85. Cured all my ignition problems. Recommend the matching coil with it (think it was $30). The installation takes about 30 minutes and its pretty easy. Keep your plugs gapped at .035, just advance the timing (mine's set at around 15 degrees).

DONT BOTHER WITH POINTS! In the long run it will save money and gas.
