Default Does anyone make/supply points that fit?

Kind of a long story, I replaced the distributor cam with an A-12210 part w/a B grind. Yes, I put grease on the new cam. The package says it’s from Snyder’s. Within about 100 miles the point rubbing block wore down, I reset the point gap and within about 20 miles the rubbing block wore down again. So I replaced the points (Snyder’s P/N A-12199), but they don’t line up. See attached pic.

Because the old points (that fit) were still in good shape I made a new rubbing block for them. Attached pic shows them before they were finished, the machine screw heads had to be filed down a lot as well as the rubbing block itself.
At this point I checked the replacement cam and found the surface to be quite rough. I got another B profile cam from Bratton’s and the surface on it is nice and smooth.
The new cam and “rebuilt” points (w/lubricant) have been installed but I haven’t had a chance to run it yet.
