Poor quality ignition points

I agree. When I bought my Studebaker 2 years ago the owner had spent over $300 for a new regulator and rebuilt generator. They worked, but not as well as they should have, so I removed them both and bought good original parts off a junk yard Studebaker. I restored them and it now has a better charge at idle, and the ammeter needle doesn't flicker.

To update this topic:
I have since found (some earlier posts lead me to it - thanks) that the ignition points made for a Ford Cortina, Escort or Falcon etc fit nicely on a Nu-Rex Model A top plate. They are excellent quality, still being made in Australia and available in most New Zealand auto stores for only $20. If anyone wants to get one the part number is GF82V-C.
