Re: Points
Electrolysis can happen in the presence of moisture.
I recall back in the early '50's some of us used to take our new sets of points to one of our local jewelers to have a layer of platinum applied to them that seemed to eliminate the associated problems. Aircraft magnetos do in fact use platinum replacement points.
