Okay Fellas, I know their have been numerous threads on the issue of points; however, I never did get a feeling or concensus on what to use as a reliable, sound replacement.
I have a 1973.5T and like many of you have had headaches over the damn points, wearing fiber blocks, bouncing tach, backfiring and the usual anxiety of waiting for the next problem.
I am now exploring the newer system(s) available to replace these ancient points and have read about and priced out many options.
Having read about problems with the "ignitor" and the failure and installation concerns (where those wires go!), I question reliability and real ease of installation.
The Allison Crane system looks to be the best to me, but I have not heard of many installations on this board.
I do not want to drag this subject thru the mud, but for those who have installed replacement systems can I get a feel for what has and has not been reliable for you so I can move on greater reliability of this system.
My glove box is becomming overwhelmed with extra points, feeler gauge, magnetic screwdrivers and lobe grease. I think I had enough!
Many thanks
Bob
