Parts fit fine on the mag plate – just didn’t work when the plate was put back on the engine. I could have done some bending to get them to work but it was easier just to remove the eccentric and manually adjust them. Once set and locked down with the set screw, the eccentric does nothing anyway. I guess they don’t care about making quality parts for our “old” motors since they haven’t been made for so many years, are relatively few in number, and the technology has completely changed. Best to look for NOS parts or refurbish the old parts. The old points that were in the motor weren’t too bad – I cleaned up the surfaces and they were very usable. The problem was the other end which rubs on the cam. Very worn down. I guess we need to figure a way to make a new rub surface for the old points! A great project for some innovative AOMCI member.
