Installing, gapping, and checking the ignition points in a conventional distributor is a necessary evil. The biggest problem is that we hate to perform the operation because it involves turning the engine over to get a high spot on the point set.
Now this may have been done before but I did a little tinkering, made a couple subtle changes to some hardware and have made it easier for me. I've made a little blurb called "Making Point setting easy" and it's on my WebShots page. You might check it out to see if it might work for you! If it does...great....if you have any comments or see any problems....feel free to let me know!!!!
