RE: [T3] Rebuild my Distributor?

I'm not real interested in that kind of set-up.  First, the ignition points
have nothing to do with my problems, as I always get good spark on all 4
spark plug wires.  (ignition points themselves are also in good shape).  I
am focusing on the FI trigger points in the dist. base.

I have heard of intermittent no-spark problems with the magnetic pick-up
arrangements, too.  People having problems, going back to conventional
points, and everything goes back to normal.  I have also read somewhere that
the magnetic set-ups don't include the small #3 retard that is built into
the conventional ignition system.

I *am*, however, interested in adding a capacitive discharge module to my
ignition sometime soon..
