Re: replace old points

Points usually are not the problem with this motor,once they are cleaned and set.But yes,they are NLA.<br /><br />Intermittent spark is usually a failing Amplifier,in this case.<br /><br />DHP

Re: replace old points

After careful consideration you may want to keep the points and ditch the amp, if it is giving you problems. Amps cost in excess of $300.00 and a good used one is almost unheard of. You may want to go with a coil and condenser instead.
