Very nice,, you might want to look into a petronics ignition and get rid of the points. Your project looks great.

Thanks. I plan on doing some more stuff in the future, including doing away with the points and getting electronic ignition.

Very clean work...you should be proud ! I think instead of going to a Pertronix unit..I'd find a rebuilt Ford Dura spark unit...then you'll have the advantange of a muilti spark unit.. There a good ol Trusty unit..when rebuilt right..

A Ford Duraspark is multi-spark? That's the first I've ever heard of that.

The Pertronix is a nice thing, it directly bolts (and wires) in in place of the stock points. A Duraspark, you are going to need to wire up with start and run wires, put the module somewhere, etc.
