I never had that issue, perhaps it was the quality of the points you were buying? I just got tired of having to replace mine twice a year. I'd spend at least an hour or two getting my AMX to run right every time. So I don't miss the good old days for that (among many other reasons.)

I'm in the market to buy a 68-72 Corvette and if it still has a distributor the first thing I'm gonna do is replace it with electronic. I'm not going through that b.s. again.

Then again, if it's the original motor it's coming out, getting re-built and updated. If it's not the original motor I'm probably going to pull it and put in a crate motor and do all the updates to it (4 wheel disc brakes w/anti-lock, update suspension, etc..)

As I recall my 68 GTO had “issues” with points but NOTHING like my Z1. I could put a brand new set of points in that thing, take it out and run it up to 10,000 RPM and come home and they would be cratered.

There are some drop in igniters that replace points and condenser but the distributor still looks stock from the outside.
