Original-Style Points and Cam Screw Sold by Snyder's.
I recently ordered a new set of points (A-12199) from Snyder's. After installation, it was obvious that the arm was too long and did not center on the point block screw contact (see photo). Snyder's said this was a known problem but the vendor refuses to correct it. To correct this, you must order a new, modified point block (A-12160-X)
Also had a problem with a new Cam Screw and Washer (A-12211/13). The inside diameter of my cam is .554" and the diameter of the washer was .564". I had to use a Dremel to grind it down. The lock washer is made of thick, heavy steel and takes quite a bit of torque to compress. This makes it more difficult to adjust the timing. If you remove the washer or use a thinner one, you can't use the screw because it's not threaded completely to the head like the old, original screw (see photo). Does anyone know a supplier that has completely threaded screws?
Thanks!
John D.
