Nice project you got going here.
I'm going to price out what the replacement parts would cost to get a new rotor, cap and coil. Depending on that cost I might get a new MSD. I don't really want to deal with an external coil.

It was switched from points to Pertronix electronic ignition at some point in time and since MSD purchased Mallory. Who knows how long parts are going to be available for.

Thank you, the project is coming along slowly.
