Points
While checking my points I noticed that the stationary one had a round hole in it. Is this a normal condition?

Re: Points
If the points appear in good condition, I would clean them and adjust them, NOT replace. Some of the new ones aren't as good as the old.

Re: Points
You should only replace points when the point blocks are bad or the wear block is gone.
Getting 40 years on a set of used points is completely possible. It takes a very smooth cam and regular lubrication. |

Re: Points
The ones with the hole are less prone to making a PIT & a POTHOLE & last MUCH longer!

Re: Points
Ah yes, the donut points to go along with the donut manifold.
8 and 9 are right on, plus the hole makes the points stay cooler. |
