'S where we part company. A mechanical/ no vacuum points distributor is the absolute simplest system you can get. Gasoline engines of all forms used breaker points for at least 70 years. Those of us who are old enough but thousands and thousands of miles on a breakerpoint distributor.

I've been involved with PLENTY of people on this board who've had trouble getting a stock Mopar ECU system to run.

I agree, mostly, with the rest of your thinking.

i most definitely have NOTHING against points.i have ran them for years and years and i swear by them as well. my 318 70 coronet had the original points in it and after it sat 8 years that thing fired and ran and didnt miss a beat.if you havent messed with them before, they can be a little intimidating and it was only to suggest that with EI it would be a more reliable way of getting it to run out of the box. i ,personally ,have never had a problem with any EI with the exception of a melted box that had came with a car i bought. but either way ,returning to a factory setup is a good start.i wasnt trying to demeaner your advice....
