Hi gents

I was just reading about the guy with the pickup wanting to go electronic.

My 39 has a Bubba helmet (skip coil) converted to an 11A. Probably 3-4 years old now and about 7k miles. Car is running great.

Couple questions (stock 6 volt):
- based on Bubba suggestion (a while back) I switched from Napa ih200 to rr175. What’s typical life on condenser?
- what’s typical life of points & rotor?
- correct to assume changing point and rotor will not change my timing set by Bubba?

BTW my issue with car missing at high rpms. I pulled plugs cleaned and re-gapped. Also took both k&n air cleaners off cleaned and put back. Not sure which corrected issue but high rpm miss no longer an issue
