Interesting that somebody put an MSD box on a 2-barrel car.

Respectfully I don't agree. Great for low end. I ripped all that stuff outta my old Vette and went back to points.

GM did points right on their V8s, as I'm sure you know. There was the little steel window on the distributor. Slide it up, insert the Allen key, and adjust the points for 30°. Done.

GM's HEI was really good, but I did miss the points.

I have had several friends have MSD products fail on the spot over the years with zero warning. Coils, distributor pickups, boxes, etc. It is hard to beat the factory Delco points or HEI ignition. HEI with plugs gapped at .040" not .080" though.
