I have been watching the discussion on points vs. electronic ignition and
see that the 1959 has been really bad for burning up points. I have
installed four sets of points in my '59 in little over a year! Even at
that, it has been almost impossible to eliminate the spark knocking on
initial acceleration completely. Could there be some specific problem with
the '59's? I ask because I have a '60 and '61, and neither of these cars
has ever given me a problem with spark knock, points slipping or burning,
etc.
Any thoughts?
