So after A LOT of research (found some great posts with part numbers and stuff on here thanks) Nearest I can figure a new vacuum advance is $80-$125. I was planning on buying a Pertronix for it anyways....so why not just buy a whole new distributor? Unless they suck Chinese balls.
I have been running points for 30+ years in my old 6 volt VWs and have no issues, but in the 12volt cars I run Pertronix or Compufire. Never an issue and some of these modules are 20 years old with daily driver use. I do keep points and condenser in the tool bag just in case.
Anyways......
The cost difference is negligible at this point so the question is are the aftermarket complete distributors just as crappy for Plymouth as they are for VW?
It's a 68 Fury III 383 with 2 barrel. I was looking at Pertronix D142700 which is $277
but I have seen generic ones as low as $69 (obviously not gonna buy that one)
What experiences do you guys have?
