[T3] Distributor and breather box questions

["Brad Mularcik" <BnPWOODtype3@att.net>]

<x-flowed>Well,
   I have gotten the numbers off of my distributor. There are 3 rows of

Can anyone tell me more about it?

I am considering a pertronix electronic ignition to replace the points.  In 
my buggy, they are hard to see and set.  I also have had problems getting 
points at the local dunebuggy shop.
Can I replace this with a 009 distributor?  Is there any performance gain 
from mech adv. instead of vac adv?

Do they make a pertronix (or similar) electronic points system for THIS 
distributor?  Or, will the one for the 009 work in mine?

So many questions and babling.  I am sorry, but I want to understand what my 
options are.


I also am interested in possibly doing the breather box that I saw belonging 
to Toby Erkson.  Where is the best place to connect the vent hoses?  Why are 
there 2?

I am starting to saturate the budget on this job, so I want to be carefull 
not to spend $40 that does not help me.  My issues that I am trying to solve 
are
1.  Oil getting on my engine and on my friends' driveways.
2.  My current breather is pretty crappy looking, and I am trying to dress 
things up a bit.

Thanks,
Brad Mularcik
