I replaced my points a few weeks back and I didn't like the replacement
points provided by the usual vendors. The points would not open all the way
to the requisite gap, 0.014" So I went to BAP/GEON foreign auto parts, and
the replacement points set for the Lucas distributer were made in Italy by a
company named FACET. They fit well.
Moreover, getting back to the condensor and ground wire sequence on the
points post, these Italian Lucas points replacements had a nylon plastic
post which secures to the points base plate, and negates the worry about the
these wire making contact with the base plate. FYI...
