I'm rebuilding the disty for a 73 2.0. The points plates are rusty and the ground strap is broken.
I've got a nice points plate in stock from a 1.7 and was considering using that one. Will this cause me any problems? Thanks!  |

Why not try to save this one? Soak it in apple cider vinegar to remove the rust, then give it a thin coat of oil.

I cleaned up another set I had laying around and installed a new ground strap. Thank you for all the replies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
