Funny you should mention that. Upon further examination I found that the new point block wasn't holding the points parallel with the plate. It was off by a couple degrees maybe 5. Cleaned up the one off the old plate and after enlarging the holes in the plate everything fits as it should.
I should draw up a point block that will fit the repro plate and fix the alignment. Aluminum should work. Whats the original? Zinc?
