I had a dual point distributor back in the Seventies on a different vehicle so I’ve had a bit of experience. Setting up a dual point distributor without a Sun distributor machine is near impossible.

Stick with the stock distributor or find an HEI to install. You’ll have much less headaches, and your engine will run great.

2X on Otto’s suggestion to buy one of Jon G’s condensers.
