... Yes, you need to lube the points block (it's bakelite or nylon, depending on the brand) where it rubs on the cam, but I'm talking about lubing _inside_ the...
I had a similar experience in an old Bimmer when I was a kid. I was lucky it happened locally but it's precisely why I bought a Pertronix for my Sonett. :) ...
Steffan,If you have them turned, media blasting will dull them to look more like the originals. One key is to keep the edges rounded to look like the original...
