I don’t think I’ve ever had points that wouldn’t close? That sounds odd to me. You always want to get OEM (dealer) points for these motors. Using Sierra ignition parts is a waste of time and money. Or, you can clean up your old points and install a couple new condensers. That may sound harsh, but I’ve chased my tail too many times with aftermarket points. One other thought… maybe you have a worn brass bushing around the pivoting point of the mag plate. That will cause the point adjustment to be erratic. It’s very common to find this issue while installing points. Try grabbing the mag plate and moving it fore and aft, and left to right, to check.
