No exp w it but for cheap and just as good, get a 440 elec dist from a JY and a $15 black 4 pin Mopar ECU from a parts house and take apart the dist & solvent wash/dry/lube & might ch the vac adv can & for sure toss the heavy spring w the long loop on one end. Lastly would b your choice of coil and the right ohm ballast to go along w it. Many options there. You'll save money & if you tweek each dist subsystem in order you'll b happy w the outcome.

no way will i find a jy 440 dist up here in rusty upstate ny.
you should be able to buy one rebuilt from the parts store , but the NEW MP units have an adjustable mech advance which makes setting them up much easier ?
Why don't you want a Pertronix ? The electronics is just as reliable , or unreliable , as an MP box .

neither had more than 5000 miles on it.
Considering you don't go anywhere .. ... The I must have been pretty old and before they moved manufacturing OVER THERE , so I'm surprised it failed so soon , the II ???.
