Default Starting mystery solved. Repo distributor

A reproduction distributor was installed in a friend's A.
Car would start, die and wouldn't start again unless you ran paper through the points.
Now look at the pictures, the point block is worn where the roto button was hitting it.
I replaced distributor with one of mine with original points. Car is back to normal now.
Here is another example of something to look for when using reproduction parts.
