mavfreak 11 #2 Posted August 28, 2011 first off, You should be able to get points for a local auto parts store, or lawn and garden retailer (not a big box store i.e. Lowes or such) Get the numbers off you engine and start calling around. Glad to see you join us here at Red Square Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,898 #6 Posted September 3, 2011 I have found that Kohler points (which are now made in Mexico) are very difficult to adjust and tighten without slippage. I ordered an aftermarket set from NAPA. These point did not slip when the locking screw was tightened. They cost about $10.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! -------- And wheelhorsepuller9623, And you might also consider replacing the condenser at the same time -- don't know why, I've just always been told it's a good idea. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The item number is SME 701029, same as Primeline with the exception of the dash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,898 #13 Posted September 5, 2011 for a long life set of points get the chevy points and cover to go with them from mid west super cub I purchased a set of these for my B-100. The concept is good, and they are easy to adjust, but for everyday use, I found that there is no way to properly seal them from rain, snow and dirt. The original points are sealed when the covers and gaskets are properly applied. However, there are no seals or gaskets for the Chevy points cover, unless something new has been developed since I bought mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
