"I figure the distro assembly has never been replaced since I've owned her (other than the ACCEL HEI Super Coil and Cap assembly), so why not replace what could be a 38-year-old part."
Now you see my friend that the distro assembly itself is probably original, while I've replaced the cap and coil with Accel parts over the past few years. Capeesh?
