Like anything else, there are good points and there are cheap points (I 
used to prefer Sorenson cross-cuts). Points and rotor was also part of a 
tuneup along with plugs and usually did every 10,000 miles. I also change 
the filter at every oil change.

And it is the arc that forms when points open that burns the contacts. I 
used to keep a points file handy but rarely needed it. All the fault of Eli 
the Ice man (Willie the barber's cousin).
