I kept a spare set of points, condenser and a rotor in my glove box.

Off topic; but I had a 66gmc that would occasionally shut off. I figured out that I needed to tweak the dwell a bit.
I eventually got tired of doing that on the side of the road and inspected the dizzy. It was cracked and would rotate just enough to mess up my dwell setting.


Another quality post.
