 Points What's likely to have caused the untimely demise of the top (fixed) contact of my cars points? I'll Wang a photo up later but the entire contact appears to have burnt away since they were fitted new back in July. Never had a set do that before, I'm assuming something mustve caused it.

Re: Points usually the condenser
Aftermarket coil? too much current (not high enough resistance should be 3.5-4Ohms)
too much current voltage reg OK?
and they were Dicellier/valeo ones not inermotor made of chocolate ones?

Re: Points Thanks Sean.
Changed condenser anyway, it's got a slightly duff coil and for the first few miles it was overcharging. All bases covered there then...
