Re: how long do points last.
Ford recommended replacing points every 10,000 miles. That's what I do. Technically speaking, the first of the two points to open may never need replacing because it does not cut off the current and never arcs. Only the second point to open ever does that and is the only one that really "wears". My first points always look like new. But, since the points come in pairs I replace them both "just in case."
