I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I would just like to say how much I enjoy reading threads like this one.

These are fun ones aren't they...both your cars unless changed will have the tach drive in it..if it works ok it wouldn't hurt cleaning it out and putting fresh lube in there..the button I put in mine is a factory part in your cars..except I think its a plastic or rubber material..or it may have the brass button also..ya never know untill you take it apart..another thing that can be touchy is the angle at which the cable is..they sell those 90 degree thingys that are made for guys who put the distributor in 90 degrees off..the vacuum canister should point to the PS fender..which makes for a straight shot out of the distributor..getting these right really isn't all that hard..but if done wrong they can really kick you in the behind..plus they don't run as good...I love my points!
