I just had to replace a set with probably 2,000 miles on them. The contact surface was pretty dark, but no pit and crater condition. I didn’t try to dress the surfaces.
Thanks for any insights -

Jim, your question is like asking 'How long does it take to catch a fish??'
By you replacing the points at 2,000 miles is like changing the engine oil at 200 miles because it was a ½ quart low. Normal maintenance of a set of points is to dress and adjust the gap.
