Located inside the distributor, ignition points are a crucial mechanical switch in the ignition system of older vehicles. They work by opening and closing an electrical circuit to the ignition coil, which collapses the coil's magnetic field and generates the high-voltage spark needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders. These points are a regular service item, as the contact surfaces and rubbing block wear down over time, affecting engine performance and reliability.
Failure to replace worn ignition points can lead to a variety of running issues. You may experience a rough idle, engine misfires under load, poor fuel economy, and difficulty starting the engine. Eventually, the points will fail completely, resulting in a no-spark condition that will prevent the vehicle from starting at all, potentially leaving you stranded.
We also sell Separator Plates, Condenser, Electronic Ignition Kits and extended rotors buttons too, Available separately in our Webstore.
