I too never had any problems with points. Plus on the chevy you can dial in the dwell angle via the door in the side of the distributor(always loved that about the chevy). However, I needed to replace my wore out points distributor so I bought the cheap skip white ready to run. It's cheap and works better than the points. I read all sorts of bad comments on the skip white. But I like it very much. I spent my money on MSD wires. Plus, of course, I put in new coil. My 350 runs way better. My opinion is if you are putting your hands on the distributor move to HEI. The vehicle will run better due to HEI.
I will be putting a new pack(engine) in the truck next year. Doubt I will keep the skip white, but I have to say, the truck is running excellent with the new low cost dist.

That said, if it craps out I'll probably scream loud and long.
