factory AC owners,what ignition are you using?
Anyone thats fiddled with the distributor,fighting that compressor bracket,
will realize its a cruel joke. Its actually quicker to move the bracket for distributor access. Whos running something other than points,ie Pertronix, Mallory ,TI,etc?

I am still running points, but with a vintage Mark 10 Capacitive discharge ignition system. It seems to extend the life of the points quite a bit.
Here is one on Ebay, Just so you can see what it is. I carry a NOS spare just in case. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145451958399

Got an old Mallory hidden under the wiper cowl. Long discontinued, I bet I bought it in the mid 80's?

I ran the Mallory in my 68 Firebird 400 for years
It did refuse to start one afternoon at work. Got a ride home and brought back a spare control module and it was running again. I ll look for it for spares for you,took it off when I sold car.
