“When was the last time you had to file the points.”
You never file the points as that removes a specially
designed coating, so now they fail quicker.
Just retro fit with electronic ignition.
Unless it is a “Show car”.
Y’all don’t drive them all that much.
If you are still using Grandpa’s
1955 F250, convert it to electronic ignition
and save a lot of un-necessary grief.

Got tired of replacing the points/condinser and setting the dwell.

Went to the junkyard and got a GM HEI.
