Do you have a CDI (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) on that engine? That <br>
would slow down both plug and point wear immensely. If you don't have one, <br>
I have quite a good stock of CDIs I have tested and burned in, both the <br>
original Delta Mark 10s and Mark 10Bs.<br>
<br>
I have them on all my drivers that came with Kettering ignitions. Built my first <br>
in about 1966 and never looked back. That first one went on my Dad's 1960 <br>
Corvair, a couple years before I bought my first Square. That CDI eventually <br>
transferred to that '68 Square, and lived there until about 1979, when I sold <br>
that car and lost that particular CDI.<br>
<br>
Since then I've built others and bought, repaired, and sold more. I'm <br>
completely sold on them. They're not snake oil. They won't fix problems with <br>
bad ignition parts, but on a good system, they work great and get incredible <br>
life out of plugs and points. I've been using them for about 60 years and <br>
have only had two failures in all that time. Both were rather easily fixed.<br>
