A minor correction Steve... the MSD computer triggers when the lead points
close... not when the open.  I flipped open the MSD installation manual,
and they warn against using dual points with a rev limiter, so you should
be fine.

Sounds like a great deal for IH owners!  I don't need one as I just
installed a rebuilt '74 IH point type distributor.  But maybe someday when
this one gives out in about 200,000 miles. <grin>
