True, but I'll have to find someplace to get an adequate piece. the 1/8" thick stuff at home depot isn't robust enough.

Everything's a matter of opinion. I supposed that could be true if one enjoys replacing points. The transdenser doesn't replace the points. The points are very much still there and control the ignition. It replaces the condenser with a part that does the same thing as the condenser, while sending far less current through the points, thus greatly extending their life. Maybe it's the 'placebo effect' or something, but the engine definitely did seem to start better after installing the transdenser. :shrug:

Good point - I'll do that.
