Get your self Pertronix electronic points and kiss the points hassle goodbye forever. All three of my 911 motors have them and they are maintenance free.

I think the Marelli distributor uses points the opposite of Bosch distributor

Pertronix is the best improvement you will ever make to your car. Easier to install than points. Runs better and never needs adjustment.

No, it installs just like points. Just need to run a single wire to outside the distributor. Really not difficult.

Setting points and dwell was a huge PITA. This is much easier and never has to be touched again.
