The points do need some attention when recently replaced. The rubbing block will wear a bit until it 'settles in' meaning the points will need adjusting for awhile. If the timing was set correctly when the points were replaced and set then just re-adjusting the points is all thats needed. Other than this these monsters are fairly bullet-proof.

Oil changes every year or 1000 miles with a good detergent oil. I prefer a 15-40. Along with that is a fluid check and visual check of everything.
Once in awhile the clutch and brakes may need an adjustment.
You kind of outlined my game plan. Only variance that means nothing is I’ve been useing Quaker State 10w40, all else Is spot on. Wayne
