BTW, these Chinese made point sets they've been supplying the past few years are crap. The rubbing block material wears down fast, even if you apply good lube to the distrib cam, and I have had some that the point contacts have actually fallen off the point arm.
I don't know if the replacement '57 and later point sets are any better but I doubt it. If you are getting new condenser, don't buy the Chinese crap either. Go to NAPA and get Echlin brand. Last time I got some, I had to order, but they arrived the next day.
