Welcome to iboats.

Order the parts. You need them.

I was at Princess Auto the other day when I came across the Electronic Modules to replace points, I was tempted but at $25 a side I figured points are cheaper and they do last if properly serviced.

Yeah, it's a real chore to take the flywheel off every 10 years or so....

I take mine off every week to clean and adjust, gotta get to the fish on both cylinders , can't run the risk that someone else gets the big one

Every WEEK? Wow - you are ambitious! If mine's running good, I don't monkey with it. I think it's been two years since I cleaned/adjusted points on my '57 Lark.

No Lindy, I have better things to do LOL although every season isn't a bad idea.
