Had a 5th Ave lone time ago. Typical totally underpowered 318. One time it failed to start, no spark.

In order to get it home I brought a spare points distributor and a jumper wire. Not only was I happy that we did not have to hire a tow truck but this 5th that would previously barely climb a speed bump was now spinning the rear tire. So it could now lay rubber and it felt like it picked up 50hp.

We then converted to the MP elec ign w the orange box. To this day it makes me wonder why anyone would put up with the lack of power the Lean Burn cars had.
