Good points, bad points

[roger crabtree <rcrabshish@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi List,
Just a suggestion on the points.  If they last only
6-8000 miles you have a problem.  I would check the
voltage into the points.  Most are reduced to 6 volt. 
Check your specks to see for sure.  You could need a
new voltage reducer on the line for the points.
