I was wondering about that but didn't want to mouth off since I don't have a V-6 GMC. Didn't know if one was available. I had issues with my '55 GMC keeping dwell so I bought the Pertronix conversion--under 100 bucks, and it has been smooth as silk since. I didn't even have to pull the distributor to do the conversion but I did anyway just to feel the bushings and side play. The engine is a mid sixties 230 inliner.
