Umm, ok, I get what you mean, but I have never heard of those being called "points" isnt that just the distributor rotor?
I thought you meant BEAKER points, like these, which the dizzy obviously doesn't have, proving what I'm trying to say.
No matter what was actually being called "points" or whatever, usually when someone mentions "points" on a distributor they are talking about breaker points. Breaker points "Break" the ignition circuit every time the distirutor cam pushes them apart. They are a very outdated design that usually cant handle high rpm application well, so with time, the breaker points were replaced with a magetic pickup coil. It functions simillarly, but does not have any parts to wear since the trigger wheel does not touch the pickup itself.
I dont recall what the part you are talking about is called, but they are just contact "points" on the distributor rotor that yes, do wear with time, but that is just the way a distributor is designed.
On the other hand, breaker points are very well known to wear, usually lasting no more than 30,000 miles on an average passenger car. however, this distributor does not have them.
Conclusion: We are arguing about two different things. When RTED mentioned "points" I thought he meant a breaker point type distributor, which this one isnt, and made that comment. You are saying he meant something else. I'm
not trying to say you both were wrong, but my statement about this being a magnetic pickup coil type dizzy is still correct.
I'm don't know everything, but I'm shure as hell trying to learn, so please teach me anything you know about this matter, thank you.
