Dan ... you might check with Keith Craft Racing , Barry at Survival etc as to a source for the points . Don at FBO is also a possible source .
I`m running the Petronix in my 63 1/2 427 Galaxie ... and have for almost 10 years and haven`t had any problems . However , I don`t run their coil ... and also carry my original plate with the points and condenser on it just in case . I sent my distributor along with the coil to Don Gould at FBO Systems in Cottage Grove ( 541-942-5920 ) to have it recurved . He checked to coil on his machine and furnished one that matched his specs on rise time etc . You`re right ... the original was junk . Car is much more responsive since the distributor rework .
BTW ... I`ve heard that the newer Petronix systems ( made in China ?? ) have reliability issues .
