Points for 85 county

[Robert]

Just got quoted $56 for a set of points . Anyone know of a better deal?

:eek: Hell yeah,

IIRC about $12 from Autobarn (for 3.5 RRC)

Be very careful, there are 2 sets of points available, 1 is twice the price of the other, My advice is to convert to electronic ignition I know it is more costly NOW but the vehicle will thank you with excellent cold starts and better power/ economy. The points plate wears out and causes other issues so replacing the points on an older distributor may not be worthwhile, believe it or not.

When I still had the V8 in my County, the best thing I ever did to the engine was get rid of the Lucas dizzy and fitted a Bosch Scorcher. Never again had tuning problems and wasn't affected by a splash of water during river crossings.
Not cheap, but worth it.

They don't make points like they used to, and catalogues often direct you to the wrong one. After numerous points related issues, I went to Electronic Ign on the SIII and it was soooooo good.

I read that Jaycar had recently re-introduced their electronic ignition kit after several years of unavailability.

I think it's like the Pirhana unit, which worked well on the 2.5 SIII.

Saw an electronic RRC dissy go for $40 on ebay last week, that would have been the go.
