When EFI/ignition computers go bad, there is no repair but throwing the computer out and installing a new one. My van does have HEI ignition, but I have procured a points distributor from the pre-74' model which will swap in easily so it will be 100% chip-free. I am no hurry, but someday if I am lucky I may inherit my father's 70' Impala. This is what I haul my MTB in if the single-track is too far away for a 60 year-old to ride to.
You are keeping it from the scrap heap which I commend.
I had a 1995 Whirlpool Refrigerator that was still working great in 2020 without ever being serviced or repaired before I gave it to a friend in need who still has it.
My 2020 Whirlpool has already has had a few plastic parts and the motherboard replaced.
If it works for you, why replace?
