    I would set them at .018. The spark happens when the points break, no matter what coil it has in it. Right? The cam is designed in conjunction with the points, the lamination and crank. I can’t see why you would want to mess with the point spec, just for a coil. The condenser is another story and I will let you guys flog it out on that. By now, everybody here knows MY feeling on condensers.

    Long live American manufacturing!
