[FWDLK] ignition points on old hemi engines

[Ted Blackington <cebuisle2@xxxxxxx>]

Hello  Web-

 

I have two mid-fifties Mopars with hemi engines, a 56 and a 55. If allowed to rest for several weeks or months the points will not fire, and have to be carefully filed to obtain spark. The points (dual) are almost new, having replaced them several times.  The cars go nowhere, just rest in the carport. I have replaced them several times-

 

My later Chrysler products with single points had no problems-am I getting a bad batch of points from NAPA or the on line sellers (Chinese maybe??) My last attempt to file them resulted in the contact completely breaking free from the arm-

 

Is anyone else having a similar problem? Any solutions??? I'm getting too old and inflexible to crawl way back there under the hood each time it happens-

Your help appreciated !!!!                                              (Yeeow! got zapped again!)              Ted Blackington
