Mmmm CHEAP is a good thing...I will look around for a Bosch coil that is not blue...the reason I wanted electronic ignition is because I have NO IDEA how to work with points...I guess I could get off my lazy behind and learn!

The benefit of electronic ignition amounts to relieving you of adjusting points once in a while, at the cost of a fair amount of money and hassle. And if you keep the 009 you'll still have the same performance problems in any case. A good stock distributor and stock points will make you happy for cheap. Am I missing something?
