Ed,

Thank you for sharing that. Extremely helpful.

At some point I will do the Chevy distributor install.

Len if you need help getting original parts which are freely available I will help you but email through this forum please. the upgrade I would suggest which dramatically changes the performance is the Jolley engineering electronic ignition kit which is invisible and designed for the OEM kit. My 2 cents worth.

The Jolley electronic kit gets my vote. I have fitted it to both the Champ (B40) and Humber (B60) with noticeable improvement in starting and performance, but the biggest advantage is no more points. Hardest part of the installation is hiding the extra wire.

I wholly agree with Rich. It is possible to hide the extra wire, you just have to think.

Completely invisible, best money you can spend. David I will ave to look up some photos, if i have them. I was like 12 years ago.

The instructions are simple and clear. It would require talent to foul it up.
