Which car is this? The 69?

you know, i went to autozone and looked at their multimeters (test lights are in the same aisle). i was || that close to buying one, knowing they have the potential to become a decent tool if used correctly and on more than just cars. i still might get one, although i think i can get one for less than $20 on eBay or something. wish i had a computer at home instead of having to keep trekking to the library everytime i need something.
there is nothing wrong with the MSD parts, the rep said they should work on any car that has HEI (which the '69 did). the 6AL will complement the digital distributor parts, as will their billet shaft, but neither is necessary for the distributor to work as is.
the solution is probably staring me in the face and i just can't see it...
and i will rock this car as soon as i get her fixed, whether it's september or january.
