No doubt the points it replaced were not perfect. Anyway I am a happy truck/camper without the need to routinely adjust points. Since the new parts are readily available I am not going to carry a spare on an long road trip next summer. I have spent several weeks in a garage in past trips and enjoy carrying my home on the truck:-)
Sounds amazing. Just ordered myself a set. What did you set your timing and plug gap to?
