My thanks for the responses.
My points are in, per the book, and seem to be working fine. The term, from
the manual," throw-over" is fairly meaningless is it not? I interpreted that
by touch and guesswork.
My pump seemed to be a (typical) mixture. Condenser which leads me towards a
later (BJish) original and single contact points which takes me backwards.
(New ones are twin contacts).
The points were worn down to nothing, just a sliver. Surprised that they
weren't playing up.
Diode is in and seems to work. I ran pump on the bench and it ran well (as
well it might with nothing to pump). That is to say there were no sparks at
contacts, so have fingers crossed for a happy ending.
If all goes well, that is the car switched from pos to neg earth.
