Carbking (Jon) nailed this. with carry a set of points and condenser. It let me down too about 150 miles from home in an area not very well populated on a Sunday with three small kids coming back from a car show. Luckily the old general store I found had a set of points and condenser in their small store, the only set I might add and judging by the dust on the two little boxes, been sitting on the shelf since Christ was a child. If I go twelve volt you just can't beat a HEI.
