I replaced my distributor with a pointless Petronix today. I didn't need to replace my distributor, but I thought it would be an improvement. By the seat of my pants I believe it is an improvement. I pulled a hill in fourth gear that normally would have taken a downshift to third. I hope it proves to be reliable.

A good way to hear God laugh is to annouce your plans out loud
I picked up the parts rover for the roof, the jump seats and the breakfast with the headlights and metal grill. I want to put these parts on my '74. Parts I mentioned earlier at the beginning of this thread. I know they look rough and they need some work, but that is what I want to do. I don't want a restored vehicle, but I am after a certain look with a sound mechanical structure. I think there are a lot of good parts on that IIA (Beauty is in the I of the beholder). I will keep what I want and get rid of the rest. So, to finally answer your question my plan right now is to finish tearing down the parts rover in hopes that I can use them on my '74. The tear down has to happen first so I can get it out of my way and have them ready to intall. It has been there way longer than the original plan, lol.
Hey, if it takes me my lifetime to finish I was blessed to have the opportunity. If I croak and the parts rover is still sitting in the yard then my poor wife will be stuck getting rid of all my junk. Sorry Honey. You knew what you were getting into
