Re: best place and part number for stock style points?
I can confirm that the NOS points fit better than the new ones and appear to be high quality. The pictures below are both with the point block in the same position. I did enlarge the holes with a file to make the new ones fit a little better before I got the NOS set. Ended up needing to move the point block in a little to correct the alignment.

Tom; Is this where Katy did some filing? I was considering filling the hole where the stationary point screws in and re drilling and threading the hole. Sounds intimidating to me. Jack

Bratton's now makes a point block to line up the new stock style points

I filed the 2 holes in the upper plate that the point block attaches to. Simple.

Re: best place and part number for stock style points?
Buy the new machined block from Bratton's. I bought 2 of them. They fixed the problem with the Standard points the vendors sell.
https://www.brattons.com/machined-di...int-block.html It's a real shame the vendors can't get Standard to listen to them, but at least a part to correct their mistake has been made and is available. |

Re: best place and part number for stock style points?
Just FYI, the NOS points I bought from the link at the beginning of this thread are working great. The past 4 years with modern stock style points I've had to file them and clean the oxidation off of them to get the car up and running.
Got it out of storage today, turned the key, pulled the choke, two cranks and she was running. There's no replacement for quality parts. |
