Change the front cover to an rx7 (82-85) and put an electronic ignition in it.Those point distributors can be a hassel at times.

You can also convert the twins to electronic if you want to maintain the old school look and avoid dealing with points ever again.

How's the car coming along? Any update on the progress? Let me know. A good friend of mines has family up in Vermont and he's always back and forth.
