sirwompus Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hi everyone, first time poster but I've been lurking and found lots of good info so far on Ratsun. I've noticed some rough acceleration symptoms that seem like they would be ignition related. The truck is a 1970 numbers matching bone stock 521. I've read time and time again on here to convert to a matchbox or similar EI setup which makes sense but I don't drive much and really would like to preserve it's originality and simplicity. Is it wasted money to put points, condenser, cap, rotor... in to a dual point dizzy? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Originality -.just replace points & condensor. Its supposed to be done every 18 months/18k miles Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Simplicity. Buy a matchbox with matching support pedestal, timing plate and matching coil. And have the bearing plate replaced and buy a new vaccum advance module (icm module and coil rarely go bad). With no points, it is simpler and more reliable. Quote Link to comment
