Be sure to buy the coil from Jeff as there are apparently several
versions of the &quot;Bosch blue coil&quot; and he's figured out the good
ones.<br><br>

I've been wanting to send another dist. to Jeff for a points setup as a
backup to the Pertronix he built for me.&nbsp; Or, put the points unit in
and use the Pertronix as a backup.&nbsp; Great idea of having a points
plate setup and ready to go.<br>
I am also using the Bosch blue coil.&nbsp; Recommended by Jeff.<br><br>

I am with Tony on this. Changed to a Jeff built points distributor
several years ago<br>
and have had no more electrical gremelins. Was using a Lucus coil and
that quit<br>
at the Jefferson this year. Now run a Bosch Blue. Have had no issues and
still<br>
carry a spare plate set up with points. Check the gap before each week
end<br>
and forget about it. In all the years of street driving my TR3A never had
a point<br>
problem strand me anywhere. <br><br>

&gt; After discussion with him, he built a Lucas distributor package that
used points and a Bosch blue coil.&nbsp; He's very specific about the
parts used, and while the spark isn't as accurate as the crankfire setup
I replaced, I'm extremely happy with it.&nbsp; Got a spare points plate
so it's a quick swap if I have an issue.&nbsp; Runs to 7k rpm just fine
(although I generally shift sooner than that).<br>
