<x-charset iso-8859-1>I have bought both points and condensers for the 010 through Gene Berg Ent. They are more expensive than the parts for a 009 of course. As far as electronic points Petronix has them. Now, I don't have the part # but there is a guy named George Brown on the cal look forum that has used Petronix in a 010.

They come up maybe every other week on Ebay, priced depending on condition up to around $100. => It sounds like a good balance of driveability => and maintainability, especially if I can convert it => to solid-state ignition eventually. The relative rarity of the 010 carries some issues to consider. For example, 010 point sets and condensers are not carried in stock by most suppliers -- there are sources, but you have to dig. As for electronic ignition, I guess something like a Jacobs setup would work, but you won't find electronic points to fit the 010. And someone please correct me if I'm off base here, but doesn't an electronic ignition brain like the Jacobs make the advance curve of the particular distributor more or less irrelevant?
