RE: Back to square 1

[Brian Seeley <im4amc_scouts2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eww...yeah...forgot all about points. Used to have them in my Scout a loooong time ago. The Scout left me stranded on RT. 95 during stop and go rush hour traffic when the points went bad. Not fun. I ended up swapping engines and the next engine had an electronic distributor, so no more points issues. Not that I think points are that bad if they're tuned correctly. Just make sure you carry an extra set just in case.
