Hi Paul,

Before doing anything else with the new points, look closely to be sure that the contacts are aligned; ie are parallel. If the contacts just touch on one edge, you won't get good spark. One other tip: after installing new ignition points, I always clean them as they will have some stuff from the factory on them. Turn the engine over until the points close. Tear a little piece off a brown paper bag and dip in rubbing alcohol. Bag paper is strong enough to do this trick. Separate the contacts enough to insert paper and release. Pull the paper out and look at it. See any dark stains? Do this a couple of times and contacts should be clean. It's amazing what a difference this can make.
