I thought I'd point out something that could be useful if one does need to
resort to the spare points due to Pertronix (or other electronic ignition
system) failure. In addition to the items listed above, it's a good idea to
have all the spare items attached to a spare distributor plate. That way,
your points are ready to just plug 'n' play so to speak, with the adjustment
already pre-done. Since the ignition will likely fail in the middle of a
dark road, possibly in the rain, it will be easier to replace the faulty
parts with the good ole points if all you have to do is swap plates.
