Could put in an HEI and get some dependable ignition. Make one to fit it out of a junkyard donor,using your 4 inch grinder and a drill,make it look like the old one you took out. Then make you a spare to keep under the seat !!!
Hey fixite7, could you provide a few more details on what you're using for a donor HEI? Maybe even humor me with a few pictures........
Thanks,
