Well , I pulled the electronic dist. Because it had no vacuum or centrifugal advance, I mean NADA!!!! I ran across a dist. from a 71 van, cleaned it up, new points and condenser, and you can really feel the improvement. Next couple of days i will figure out the rear end ratio. Somehow I believe it is a 3.21. Then mayhaps i will look for a new camshaft. My throwout bearing is also whining, can I grease it or is it sealed?

Throwout bearing making noise = replace it. While you are in there, just go ahead and do the clutch if you can afford it!

Points & condenser start degrading the instant you first crank the engine after installing them. Get an electronic distributor with vacuum advance and do the HEI upgrade; as much an improvement over the lean burn (non advancing) distributor as your present setup is, the HEI will be that much better than your present setup.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

ON my 71 truck I had the Pertronix set-up. Once installed I didn't touch it. Had that for 7years.
