Sorry, but I run points now (few yrs now)since my HEI (aftermarket) went bad, points are not reliable, except to the fact that they are going to need fine tuning ever so often, and they'll fry for many reason's. (Why else would you carry spares?, I carry a spare dist.) Use a HEI and forget about it! Get a HEI from the parts yard! OEM's are better built and you can get parts anywhere. if it needs new bushings you can get them at Napa or almost anywhere cheap, and they are easy to install.
