points replacement options, a whole bunch of questions actually Options

[brant]

This is all for an early 911 motor with and ancient 1967- 2 piece points distributor.
I was intending to run a pertronix ignitor points replacemnt in it, but found out last night that it doesn't fit.....

so now I'm re-educating and re-shopping...

I run a crane in a different car and see that they do make a model to fit this dinasaur....
but my first question:

-Does an inline resistor prior to a coil, ultimately hurt the strength of the spark put out from the coil?

next question: I'm running an MSD box and their blaster coil, but want to replace the points...
-Does MSD make a points replacement now?

anybody know what other racers are using to replace points... specifically other racers with these ancient/small 2.0/6 vintage motors?

brant,

i'm been running the crane xr 700 on the '67 2.0 in my 914 for about 2 years now with no problems with it. i'm useing the stock cdi to trigger the crane box and i didn't need a tach adapter.

if you use the right shutter wheel, you don't need to remove the points mounting post .......... like i did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
