I posted a picture of the distributor on the C3 facebook page. Couldn't get it to load on here.

Geez, don't get fired, I can't afford to pay your salary. Spent all my money on the distributor.

I'm not the one he's worried aboot!  LOL Thumbs Up

I see the pics now...btw, they wouldn't load here because of the size. Ouch

  

Here's the skinny on the extra wires, from the GMPP specs page that includes that part number. The wires are for a ground, and an extra tach output. I would tape them both up, and tuck them out of the way somewhere. It wouldn't hurt to actually use the extra ground, tho. Thumbs Up

Thanks Joel for the time you spent researching this data. Answered my question and more. I'll keep you updated how the new cap and rotor does on the old distributor.

UPDATE:  It's been ten months since  I switched to GM Delco distributor and not one "no start" conditions. Put about 4,000 miles on it from last June till now. Old blue didn't get much rest this winter. New A/C works great. Getting ready to put cruise control back on it.  I get looking at the scenery and have mopeds pass me going up a hill. Been talking to Rosta and will probably go that way. Aggravates me when a 2015 something on the interstate goes from 40 mph to 70 mph and back again every mile or so. Don't want to be that somebody on the interstate. Wife does look like a cute little bobble head when I do slow down and speed up. She doesn't think the soda straw in the nose is funny though. Thanks again for the advise.

Here is an alternative if you decide to replace. Much cheaper and lifetime warranty.
 
 
I have been using their version with tach drive in my 74 for several years now and haven't had to touch it.
