Re: [T3] first posting but on a previous thread topic..engine longevity...but here is some new ideas to discuss..

Not seriously mistaken BUT
The 009 distributors of today are not only the wrong curve for just about
everything but they are VERY poorly made... hence less reliable.

The same is the problem with the electronic ignition modules... anyone ever
had one last more than 3 years??  I had a reliability engineer look at one
and his conclusion was that they are so cheaply made that there are design
flaws built in in the way of thermal cycling problems.

Takes 5 minutes to adjust the points every 7000miles or so and maybe 8 or 9
minutes to replace them every 15K or so... and they are VERY unlikely to
fail or cause any problems between those intervals.

a Fuel Injected system you should be
able to run a Bosch 009 with an electronic ignition
unless I am seriously mistaken. That will make it
possible to not have to worry about points and
resetting the gap on them as well as dealing with
dwell also
