The great ignition debate: Points vs. Pertronix
First a set of Standard then a set of Blue Streak.

Condensers went out on the standard, replaced p&c with a set of Blue Streak, the mechanism for the points got loose and wonky after about 3500 miles.

If I could get over my vanity, I would just install an HEI and call it a day.
Problem is, HEI just don't look right under the hood of a '68 Chevy (IMO).
I think �� I might stash a spare distributor behind the seat where the factory jack used to live.
