pfrederi 17,143 #1 Posted August 29, 2017 They may be new and look clean ...but clean them before you install them. Just put new points in my Case VAC. Gapped them checked everything...and no spark. Couple of seconds with the point file and she purred like a kitten.. They looked clean but I doubt points for a 1950 tractor turn over fast at the parts store been on the shelf for a while. 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
