Or, use the original distributor with points. Breaker points lasted in excess of 10,000 miles. When they began to fail, symptoms were noticeable, but the engine still ran. With HEI, Pertronix, MSD, etc., failure usually results in sudden death for the ignition system. If you have spare parts with you, no tow truck needed. Otherwise, you’re stuck aside the road. I carry a spare set of points & condenser.
