The Nu Rex setup had been in the car for about 1000 miles with no problem . The car had not been started for a few months but I dont see how that could have affected the points . There was voltage at the points so you could flash them with a broader screwdriver which touched the fixed part and pivot part but when I inserted the screwdriver between open points no voltage so one of the points "buttons" had lost electrical contact ,very confusing to start with . I installed a new set of points, the one with the condenser on the plate and swapped over the brass clip from the Nu Rex and we are now back in business .
