I bought a new top plate(which the points don't fit on the post), I bought a new point block, new points, which are supposedly the new correct length one. I also have a machined point block that supposedly fits the bad points. After mix and matching all the combinations, they don't line up to my satisfaction. I found an old point block, and voila it's perfect.

Are the new parts still no good? This is frustrating as I'm buying new and it just doesn't work. Or just move to the new style points?
