: : : : : Most manuals suggest that you use a file to dress points and never to use sandpaper or emery paper. Does anybody know why? : : sand paper and emery paper has an oil base that may cause the points not to fire if you use either : : clean points with contac cleaner and they will work fine. : Actually its a fear that emery particles will be left embedded in the contacts and keep them from closing. : Gerald Sandpaper will generally not be as fine as an ignition file. A rough surface on breaker points means less point surface contact. Less point surface contact means less current flow in the primary ignition which relates to a weaker spark
