I went to my parts store today to order side mount distributor
points. Took them the Standard Ignition part number like
always just so they didn't have to dig out the book.
FD-8081X No longer available.
They can get FD-8081 or 8081T, but not X.
The 8081T aren't SI, they're a cheaper brand. Non-vented.
I had them cross the Echlin number for premium vented points
too, it now crosses to the FD-8081 number. Guess I better stop
in at NAPA and see if they can still get them.
I really like the young guy working the counter, his dad owns
the store. Straight up great guys, the whole bunch.
I explained to him that they weren't the same and he was quite
interested in why the weren't. Same guy has told me before
that he would listen to anything I said about points for my
tractors because he had never installed a set in his lifetime.
Probably won't either.
They have newer vehicles and a diesel tractor.
