If they crap out, carry a spare and change it, you're good to go. For his distributor rebuild, he was going to rebush it, correct weights and springs and set up advance for my particular engine, etc. Even replate it if needed. $60 labor plus materials needed. Not too bad in my opinion, but I probably won't go this route.

I'll step to the plate to support Cliff. His experience with quadrajets and years of racing and dynoing results are unparalleled. He has given a lot of his time to folks on various forms, especially the Pontiac forums. He is a great asset to the classic car/truck hobby in my opinion. I'm glad he was able to parlay his knowledge and experience into a living - that is the story of American
capitalism.

It could be said he gives alot of time on many forums, but what does that mean? Wiggles bad mouthed an engineer with about 50 years of auto racing experience, many numerous publications and a couple of.... thousand..... dyno runs under his belt. probably dont know him but his name is David Vizard. I think Vizard came up with the saying " I dont have an opinion, I have a dyno" in response to that comentary. Unparalleled? did you say Unparalleled? You clearly dont know Mr. Vizard either. Yet so many at the race track know about wiggles. I wonder if he ever figured out what the minimum distance between the aircleaner lid and the top of his carb ... should be. Maybe, Does he finally have a Dyno? hope its not an app he found on line. Yep, American Dreamin.

I've been running Points in all my old vehicles for about 50 years now. They never gave me any reason to change. I usually check the Dwell about every or every other oil change. Usually needs none or very little adjusting. Every once in a while I'll pop in a new set and always keep a spare set in the glove box. For the last 20 years, I've been using Heavy Duty Borg-Warner's.
