I'm kind of new to the list, but I was wondering: is there any reason
not to go to the '80's stock electronic distributor and ignition module?
I guess the blue cap doesn't look stock, is that it?
It seems like it would be a "bolt on" solution, and if it fits an '80's
302, it seems like it would transfer to a 260 or a 289.
Am I missing something here?
