Guys...
I just installed a new set of Bosch points a few minutes ago, set the dwell and reset the mixture and bingo, success!! What I learned is that I need to check the gap with greater frequency and carry a spare set of points onboard. This reminds me of my old Austin Healy and Triumph days when adjusting points was a way of life and part of the sports car ownership. Obviously, these older 911's share the same attention.

Now, I see Pelican Parts is offering the permatune system that installs in the cap rather then points. I have heard success with this cheap lifetime replacement and even performance enhancement. I for one am going to try it so I do not have worry about points again.....or at least midful of continuing adjustments. I believe this replacement is a direct screw in without having to remove the distributor.

Here's to the points club!!!!!

Regards
Bob
