Thanks Fred! However, the reason I removed the distributor was to clean it up, rebuild it and put in the Pertronix electronic ignition module. So, no points. I do have a new set of points in the glove box along with a new condenser just in case the electronic module lets me down. Have gone 12 volt system with the flame thrower 3 ohm resistance coil so as not to have to use an ignition resistor. Do I need to set the flywheel at the U/C mark with pointer, or the BB with the pointer and then drop the distributor in the engine with the rotor directly pointing at # 1 on the cap?
