when dealing with a points ignition system, the correct place for the distributor is ALWAYS the front.  _________________

Good call. I had points in my 64 fairlane for a while, then I went the pertronix route, I'll never mess with points ever again. _________________

| Let me ask you Chris, did you ever run an Autometer tach with that Pertronix module? I've read conflicting info on whether or not they work with each other. |

No idea Aaron. The Fairlane was an Automatic, so I never bothered with a tach. _________________
