All the guy's useing the bosch ignition think its great because they dont know any better.
The Bosch ignition is a little(very little)better than points.If you really want to improve your ride,
go with a $11.95 GM ignition(part#is AC Delco D1906)and an Accel coil(Electronic Super Coil #
140008)I've got these coils off Ebay for $15.to$25.With this setup you can safely gap your plugs
to .050.Once you've made this easy mod,you'll feel more power,have very fast cold starts and
see about 15% better mileage.You'll also be able to advance your timing by 10* and have no
pinging.You will need the 75 distributor and a soldering iron.If you need a pic,let me know.
