Shawn in PA said: (quoted from post at 18:46:35 12/31/09) On average, how long do your guy"s points last in H"s or M"s? I"m going through them about every 7 months on my SM? Burns a hole clean threw them. Thanks. Shawn
The answer is simple, the fix might not be. If you go through that many, there's something serious wrong.
Bad coil, or mismatched coil/ resistor, or just plain incorrect coil
Bad, or wrong value condenser. Just because a condenser is or was new does not make it 'good'
Really poor quality points, or you are not gapping them correctly, and or the distributor is worn badly------
If the gap is not wide enough they will tend to burn, but sometimes this problem is complicated by worn bushings or a bent shaft. That is, if they don't "snap" open fast enough, they tend to burn and arc
Hell, when I was a kid my Gramps had a Case VA/ VAC, and I don't think he changed points in over 5 years. My other Grampa had a little Cub and I doubt they were changed that often.
