I installed one about two months ago and the truck never ran so good. I also used the Pertronix Flamethrower coil. You can call Pertronix and give the tech your Distributor numbers from the inside plate and they can tell you wich part is needed. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 | .016? isn't that about the same thickness as a matchbook cover? When "proper tools" were unavailable it's what I used for settin points on old VW's! 
1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber" 2007 Chevy Avalanche 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, 2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
