Dual pickup distributor to single 1971 240

Could anyone tell me if I can switch a dual point dist. for a single point dist. and if I did how much work would be involved. Thanks Rob

The dual point distributor was used in the automatics for emissions reasons, at least the STOCK dual point dizzy. Check this thread for more information:

I checked the thread and thanks for the direction, but I have a standard trans. so the dual point dist. is not stock. I only have one wire running to the dist. so if I find a single point dist it should work? I am leaning towards the protronix but I checked and dual point dist. is not available. thanks

Find 280Z/ZX dizzy and go with that.Points belong in a museum un-less it's a 100 point car.Pertronix is inferior to the factory electronic distributors.
