I think I may have been one of the last holdouts for points type ignition on the Atomic 4. What made me switch to EI was the condition of the distributor cam lobes on all of my distributors. To my knowledge there is no aftermarket replacement for them.The problem is that as they age it becomes necessary to reduce the point gap to ridiculous levels to obtain the specified dwell. Many of the ignition troubleshooting problems we deal with here are rooted in members setting point gap specified figures and then getting lousy performance because the coil is not producing a sufficient spark. The smart play now is to go EI and deal with the coil issues as indicated by Neil. Of course, when Moyer Marine starts producing new distributor lobes the game will change.
