points type

Im getting ready to put in a new set of point and condenser in the jeep. has a chevy v8 with the GM 1-piece type points and condenser in it now. Do I need to put the same type in it or can I use the seperate type, Points with seperate condenser. The current set is just one unit, and is the one piece type better?

 

Me too. Much easier to set.

 

Ok. Thanks guys, I was just wondering in case they didnt have the uniset in stock.

 

I like the separate type, because you can use a feeler gauge to set them in the field. Once i use a match book as feeler,also a business card will work.

 

You can with the uniset as well. I set them with a feeler gauge when I install them then fine tune the dwell while it's running.

 

what is the pertronix? Ive heard it mentioned a few times but am not familiar with it. does it replace the points in your existing distributor?

 

Yes. It’s a points to electronic conversion that bolts in the same place as the points.

If you’re thinking of converting let me know first. I’ve got one I’m no longer using and I’ll sell it for half the price of new.

 

PM sent about petronix.

 

Got it, response sent.
