wico c points -Duane- Glenn

It happens with all the other brands of points and other parts too sometimes. Their dies get worn or off and they turn out a bad batch.

Make them fit or complain and return them or find another brand.

Something else you can do is make yourself a contact alignment tool out of a small piece of tubing or drill a hole in end of shaft and then cut a slot across so it will fit over the stationary contact. Then put a T handle on the end of it somehow. Then you can easily align the contacts after installing. It's a lot better than using pliers and ruining a new set of points.

They made bad batches of XH points years ago in blue prestolite boxes and sometimes when buying out some old parts I still run across them.

The Standard points have less problem with grounding at the interface of the screw holding the movable point and the stationary point - Tisco points almost always require some modification to increase clearances.
