I received both sets of points I ordered from NAPA, and the bad news is that neither one of them work. The CS753 points are a mirror image of the CS754 points (and the Mallory 28475B) so they are out from the start. The real bad news is that, while the CS754 points can be easily installed in a Mallory distributor and seem to fit, the geometry is such that they cannot be adjusted to open. I believe if I had to, I could modify them to work, but they are not even close to a direct replacement.
