also remember, not all, but still some quality sets of points are coated with a protective film, applyed for long term storage and before use should be washed off with Acetone or they dont work,
again, NOT all points are coated, but some of the quality made ones are,..(generally not ones made in China )

 

I ordered some off the internet that look like harley OEM points still in the bag. You are right they probably need to be cleaned first. Thanks.

 

as a last resort trash the points not compatible with today's ignition

 

Down the road I just might do that. Right now I'll stick with points. I found the port on my carb that I can tap into for the VOES when the time comes.
