Re: ignition system
If it's stock, it has points. The first thing I'd do is get rid of the points and install a Pertronix kit. They're bullet proof and easy to install. The link below may or may not be the exact one, but gets you close:
http://www.carshop-pertronix-ignitor...p/prx1162a.htm They're available from many sources including Summit and Jegs. After that, as you've suggested, new plugs, wires, rotor and cap and you'll be set for many trouble free miles. |

Re: ignition system
I would also upgrade to a hotter coil as well.
Another option would be switching to a HEI distributor from a newer 250 6 cyl.
