No problem except that replacement point are expensive and a one time purchase of a conversion kit would be more economical.Old mercs wants 90.00 for a set of those things and its been my experience that you have to change them every couple of years.

Re: points conversion

Well, the fact is, there is no change over kits. Do you replace the condensers when you replace the points? The points normally last a LOT longer than that.

Replace the cendenser this time and you may not have to replace the points again for many years.
