Then keep it with car. If you break down on the side of the road, and you suspect it could be timming related. You can change the distributor in about 4 min. Don't spend a lot of time on the side of the road trying to change points or condenser. You can figure out what went bad back at home when it is more convenient. It is a little pricey, but if you are broken down on the side of the road in unfavorable or unsafe conditions, it is worth the insurance.
But i put on the armored cable bracket for authenticity . Guess im screwed
