Jim,
I do not know of any tool other than a hex key. That is what I have used for 30 years ??? I dont know what type of tool you are looking for ? My 71 Chevelle service manual just shows a hex key being used. If you are looking for one of those hex screwdrivers with a "spring" type flexible shaft, dont waste your time. I tried using one many years ago and went right back to the good old "Allen wrench" ! With the allen wrench all you do is start the engine, turn the wrench clockwise until the engine just starts to run rough, then go back counterclockwise 1/2 turn and you will be within 1/2 degree of the proper setting every time. By the way, this is a published GM procedure. Cant be much simpler.
By the way, dont forget that it has been over 30 years since GM put a point type distributor in most cars, so be glad you can even get the points locally [img]smile.gif[/img]
