To clarify why I usually recommend converting the original distributor to a 68, or even 11a, is primarily to use the 37 and later points. The early points are available new but are terrible quality; and one out of every three nos sets have weak spring tension. Nos ones are drying up. The 37-48 points are available new in extreme high quality and are readily available. That to me is the best benefit for the conversion.

The original points are a good design and easy to adjust but until quality ones are available I have to try and steer clear of them, especially when we have to offer a warranty.

When I use the 11A I slow the curve down a bit. 68 bs 11a you would never be able to feel the difference driving the car
