That's pretty good Mark. The same might be said for triples in general. :)

I remember GMs' had the slide up cap on the distributor. Use a flexible allen wrench and setting the points was super easy. High tech for it's day. :D
Sadly all of us on here fall in that group..
Good one Mark. :thumbup:

I know they worked well but I hated those things! Always did a conversion whether it was a car or bike. A by gone era.

I have all sorts of those, all makes, I convert those old contacts style distributors to my own design small body HEI, MSD Trigger Only, or EFI-HEI designs. The GM cap with the dwell adjustment opening is called a "window type" distributor, and the points adjuster indeed had both an Allen socket and flat blade slot to adjust them.,

One might say I make old distributors "pointless".

If any of you would like one, or a couple thousand of these, let me know. I have a bunch, all used.

The website for what I do is davessmallbodyheis.com

Does anyone remember GMs' uni points ? I was not a big fan of those, mainly because of the higher cost.

No, don’t remember them but I wasn’t very mechanical at all back then in those days. YouTube has shown me the way. :crazy:
