Default Re: Lifetime of Distributor Points ?

Like Greg said, for me the issue is wearing out the rubbing blocks. I like the points that I get at NAPA. I think the ones in my car are at least 5-8 years old....I would guess 10,000 miles. I typically have to readjust the points twice a year, and I dress the contact surfaces each time. These are original style points, not the "modern" style.

I did spend some time polishing the distributor cam, and I always make sure that it is properly lubricated. That helps.
