You are not alone - I'm running a 63 dual point distributor in mine that I sent to Tim O'Connor to restore/rebuild and set up and so far it's been flawless. I think mine has 22 degrees centrifugal in it and I run 14 initial so not too much different. It looks much more vintage cool than that red topped, billet monster.
