I just put in a new dist .from Synders ,the modern style . Put in ,no fire to the points .Called Snyders they said I screwed the wire from the coil into the dist to far which is possible . After having to disassemble a brand new dist I found the connection for the wire from the bottom plate to the top plate was touching the housing.Manufacture error . Bent it away from housing and reinstalled and got the car running .In the process it appeared to me that the points furnished with the dist . are not very robust . So I went down to NAPA to buy points for a 1970 ford v-8 ( per Les Andrews book ).There is more than one set of points for ford from 1957-1970 .The part number for the points I bought is CS755 . Are these the correct points ?If not does any one no the part number for the correct points. Thanks
