HI all, been having a little problem lately, and as part of my troubleshooting process, I want to confirm what distrib my car has. I believe it's the original single-points distrib for my '73, but want to make sure before I do anything more.... (pics to follow)

Here's a shot that includes the wiring harness and coil. It looks like somebody did some splicing for some reason or another, which is one reason why I question what distrib I have...

Just wanted to check... I was thinking about installing Pertronix or Crane electronics to replace the points, so I wanted to make sure.
The "problem" I was referring to has been resolved (I think). I first thought I had vapor lock or my points or coil were wearing out, but I found that the + lead to my coil was kinda loose - the crimp sleeve had slid down the wire a couple millimeters, and when the wire got hot, it stopped working so well :stupid:
