Thread: help with points!

Tweet

Yep. A points system needs a condenser to build up a charge. You can get one at any auto store.

BTW, do yourself a favor and convert your points ignition to a Pertronix electronic setup. Much better, it eliminates the points and gives you modern electronic ignition. Price is not bad, and you will never have to adjust points again.

I seem to recall it was about 7 to 10,000 miles on points at the max......before new ones ...or was that reset the points every 700 to 1000 miles and replace every 10 thousand????It was a pretty often and they do not do half the job of a new electronic conversion does.
