First off, does it have any points? In my limited experience with a 
variety of distributors, only the Prestolite had outees on the cap, but 
it didn't have points. John L. just taught me that in the Prestolite's 
case, the equivalent of the gold box is in the distributor, and it will 
hook up to the MSD, OK.
