Have you ever treid another newer ignition on that car?


No, it's a non-transistor car, it doesn't get anything modern. Running an occasional nine in a street driven car with only mid 60s technology is so much damn fun, that I don't care whether or not I could make it "better" with newer parts.


Something to be said for old school reliability. My friends with modern fuel injected engines have all kinds of trouble with sensors, injectors and other electronic stuff going bad while mine has been stone reliable since it was built.
