    Thx Harry,

    I don’t remember who, but somewhere along the line I got my hands on a tutorial that says the same thing. I have already tested resistance and I get zero with the points contacted and off the scale (open) when the points are open.

    I polished the points starting with 800 wet/dry sandpaper with pb blaster as a lubricant. Then to 1500 with pb as well. Let the piece glide over the sandpaper very lightly and used a hacksaw blade as a backer to buff the point on the breaker frame. Cleaned with carb cleaner to be sure no oily residue.

    They are very well polished but I think I’m going to hit them with 2000 tomorrow for a ‘windex’ shine. LOL

    Best Regards
