Heading to the garage now to start the install and my main, unresolved-in-my-brain question is if i need to hook up the vacuum line that is on my current stock distributor, on the 123. |

A car will run on it's old points distributor and not on a new 123ignition if there is too much resistance in the primary circuit. It could show 12v at the coil but not be a clean 12. Even old ignition switches, fuse blocks, starter posts and junction boxes can build up resistance. Old cars and bad grounds are notorious for having problems. I will mention that spark plugs are often the culprit. Today even new is no guarantee.
Hope this helps Ed |
