How to set breaker points?

Where are you at? I'm coming to Ottawa from Perth on saturday. I'll be going to the west end to drop off some things at my parents house. Setting up a distributor and points brings back a lot of memories as I spent 20 years working in a chrysler dealership in ottawa. All my stuff is big block now but I can't even try to remember how many 340's and 360's I've had or worked on. maybe we can meet up.

I'm in the west end, Merivale and Meadowlands. By Saturday afternoon, I may have the front of the engine apart though... I have a suspicion that I may have jumped a tooth on the timing chain and want to make 100% sure the engine got a new chain and gearset during the rebuild.

Step one: remove distributor

Step two: install electronic distributor.

Step three: set pick up coil gap once and forget it.

The car will start and run much better with the electronic ignition. I'm not trying to be a wise guy. In the end, you will be much happier and less frustrated.

Ah the perfect repair! And I'd do it in a heartbeat if I had the funds to buy a conversion kit from Mopar. ;)
