Re: Point Alignment
In answer to Bob Bidonde ............................ The "best on the market" points most of us sell have been made by a major domestic ignition parts manufacturer that has been around for the better part of a century. for whatever reason, within the last 10 (plus or minus) years the length of the movable arm of the main assembly "became" 1/8" longer. Nobody knows why, including, supposedly, the manufacturer. Oftentimes, these things happen when parts are moved to different factories. In any event, my understanding is that they are not willing to re-tool the product. That said, they are still far better than other points on the market. The major suppliers in the Model A industry have yet to fund a reasonable substitute for this product. So, they've done the next best thing by redesigning the adjoining point block to provide better alignment of the point terminals. This didn't solve the incorrect length issue but, it does provide a remedy to the alignment issue. Yes, it's another $10-12 out of pocket expense for the retail customer but, it's a fix. So, yes, we still sell the "best points available" rather than other poor (POOR) substitutes that may be out there.
