Rick: I had a mechanical set-up in my 65 Vette. It was standard with a single point distributor. I changed to an Accel dual point distributor and was able to get a mechanical setup there as well. It was very accurate and I never had problems with breaking the cable. If I recall, there was a particular way to snake the cable through the firewall and also a brace that was used to keep the curve of the cable, thus eliminating any movement from high revs or engine movement.
