Points
 

I'm sure this has a thread somewhere? I need install new points (I think I do) Is there a step by step on this? I haven't done points for over 20 years! I know it is not hard just thought I would do a little read up first. I think I'll do the condenser too.

Personally I would convert to an electronic setup unless you are trying to keep it all original.Then I would switch to a in cap conversion that looks original but doesnt need messed with.Just my .02

:agree: I got a HEI off Fleabay for $50 shipped. Been running great for over a year now.

Re: Points
 

I have an HEI of my 91 350. It may work but I was thinking the points was the easier route and only 22 bucks. Maybe I should rethink it? Will any HEI of any 350 work?

Re: Points
 

Yes, and I think big block distributors are the same as well.

Nothing wrong with points.They`ve always got me home,EFI hasn`t.

To answer your question:Pull the old points and put the new ones in.Turn motor until the points are opened by one of the four lobes on the distributor shaft and set the gap.I usually spin the motor and check gap again.This is the "static" point setting instructions.It always has worked for me when I had no dwell meter.

Re: Points
 

do you know the gap spec?
