Sir, with all due respect, you have no idea what you are talking about! I will admit to being the most dedicated purist you will ever find. I really dislike modifications. I would never put an alternator where a generator was, for example. But the fact is that good quality ignition points do not exist. Even AC-Delco points are made overseas. Since 1974 was the last year points were used in GM vehicles, it is fair to say that research and development money for ignition points is small to none. Quality is extremely poor. Points are expensive. I had a '59 Buick hauled into my shop with a freshly, and expensively, rebuilt engine that would not run. Found the new points to be shorted. Installed an Ignitor and I am this man's lifelong hero. Had his engine rebuilt to the tune of $6000 all because someone had installed defective new ignition points (not to mention an auto repair shop that wanted to take their customer to the cleaners.) Some things are available today that really make things easier for older vehicles. Ignitors are at the top of the list. Looks original, and is not detectable by even the best judge. The ONLY way to go. Regards.....P
