Arrow Re: Will I kill the value of Barm Find 68 C-10

I will touch on this issue , first as Brad said above complaining about point's ?
this is something I have NEVER understood , I have drove 67 68 69 camaro's and chevelle's and 67 to 72 truck's all over 5 state's for 20 year's WITH POINT'S !!!!!!!!!! and have NEVER had a problem , I had one 69 camaro 355 4 speed that got 26 mpg's and WOULD FLY !!!!!! with point's ,
for the record to date the ONLY gm part that ever left me beside the road was HEI setup in an 82 blazer we had one time , my current 67 camaro has had two set's of point's in 8 year's and 90K mile's ,,,, let's see that about $6 buck's every 4 year's ? I can't figure out why people can't run point's ?


whew now !! my 67 C10 has the original unrebuilt 250 six cylinder (WON'T NEED REBUILT FOR ABOUT 20 OR SO MORE YEAR's) and a 373 rear with 3sp and it get's great gas mileage around here where I live and is perfect for the hill's and stuff around here , but I would agree about freeway driving as I drove my 67 to elizabethton tenn last summer and a 60mph or so it used more gas and I was in everyone's way !!!!!!! so for me I am just gonna drive mine here where I live , but if I had to drive it out on the highway a lot then a 327 (WITH POINT'S) and a higher rear gear would be installed , the six banger would be in the garage corner for future use !!
