Here`s a almost nightmare story,, but he seems to have caught it before it any damage was done..

I believe it`s an automated posting because it`s a monthly thing,, so it was posted by the "machine" not knowing that the 17th was a weekday and that the Getto garage would be postponed because of other meets for a couple months..
Looking at your pictures it looks like you have a single point ..But in your top looking down picture i cant tell if it has a upper ring that you will have to machine down..I painted it with a yellow stripe..if it doesn`t your probably good to go...We used the same number Pertronix kit on both machined down ring and non ring type ..
If it was a dual point it would have 2 dips where the wires go through ..The distributor in pic still has white plastic in them.
some pictures if it helps..
Again pictures are of things you DONT want to see , but machining the ring down will only cost you about 20 bucks or so..
And deduct for the chicken wire holding carb together and the fact new owner has to find, buy and install new window regulators that have been destroyed by the vice grips.......
$2500.
