    does anyone know about replacing the points type distributor on a 64 gp with a 389? i want to get rid of the points and go with a no points type. have been told the hei won't work with it, and the other options are kida costly, and do not want to get the wrong one and deal with returning it ect. any advice or help would be appreciated, thanks, bigstevemac

    Put a PERTRONIX in the place of the points.
