Sorry, Rick, but our '73 "B" with STOCK points ignition is happily
firing Bosch Platinums at app. 0.050" gap. It's a daily driver, NOT a
car-port queen... and has been very reliable.

It's been my experience that the precision of the electric ignition is
degraded by the amount of wear in the timing chain. To fully utilize
the accuracy of the electronic ignition, you must convert to either the
timing belt drive (relatively cheap), or a gear drive set-up (pricey).
