When "restoring" a vintage car how does one handle the ignition system? It seems a more faithful
restoration would leave the original ignition components intact. But, OTOH, switching to modern
solid state would be the best plan. Please advise.

I personally have no problems running points buts some people I know
(including died in the wool 100% restoral fanatics) have been known
to slip a Pertronix module into thier distributer, only one rather
non-descrpit extra wire to give it away.

Mindya, they usualy keep a set of points in the glove box "just in
case"
