All the ideas are good in principle and I study them all.

But do you think the engine could run at 1100 rpm with little misfire, even if there is some, with a cam or an offset igniter?

I can check the camshaft and the correct orientation of the distributor by removing the cylinder head covers and watching that the valves open and close at the correct time relative to the position of the distributor finger. I could also just offset the spark plug wires in the igniter head.

Before, I might reassemble the old breaker ignition system, without the Pertronix box, I just need to redo some temporary wiring to connect the ballast.

Thanks for your he

I don't want to offend anyone and especially not those who are trying to help me but it is obvious that it is not necessary to replace the cam with another to check it and that you just have to observe the valves open and close for two revolutions of the crankshaft. This is actually what I considered in my post above.

Today I'm going to install the whole old original point, capacitor and coil ignition system that worked well when I bought the car almost 6 years ago.
