Nice combo , but why still dual point ? I understand the " if it ain't broke " deal , but even this guy got rid of his some time ago. :D

Nice ride!!! I'm from the dual point era, so I do think that's cool.

With that combo, i can just hear the rpm's now...:cheers: Fantastic!
 
You're right if it ain't broke don't fix it. I tried an electronic racing ignition from Mopar Performance. The motor didn't sound right with it. I still have it so I know I will try it again someday.
 
how many motors have you gone thru?

when I was bracket racing I use the old Mallory yl's, as long as I kept the points clean the motor was deadly consistent.
 
I've maybe went thru 5 or 6 in the past 33 years. Not to bad. Mine is consistent too, and the plugs last forever so I just leave the points in it.
