Hehehe.....I luv you Aussies. Sounds like two options for Keith:
OPTION 1: Replace the points. Cheap and quick.
OPTION 2: Replace the dizzy w/ a Gary Boone EI unit. Not cheap, but never
worry about points again.
I choose Option 2. Now waiting for nice weather to install it.

Sounds like the spring tension on the points arm is below standard, allowing
the points to "bounce" at higher revs.
Bottom line, they are NBG, that is an Australianism for "NO BLOODY GOOD".

Subject: Feditco points in the yellow box
Hello all,
Anyone have any experience with the Feditco ignition tune up parts in
the yellow box that have been sold on E-bay? I just installed a set of the
points that did not work well at all. They idled fine but at higher speed
especially under load the car sounded like one of those WWI biplanes where
they cut the ignition to slow them down on the ground. Cutting out really
bad and lots of backfiring. Cleaned up the original points, reinstalled them
and it runs fine.
