As the rubbing block wears, the gap closes and the timing retards; as the contacts pit, the spark weakens. You get hard starting, a rough idle, misfires under load and poor fuel economy. Points should be checked every tune-up and replaced roughly every 10,000 to 12,000 miles. They are cheap, so many owners keep a spare set in the glovebox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompare the new set with your old points before installing: base shape, pivot and wire connection must match.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the breaker plate and apply a small amount of cam lube to the distributor cam.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the gap or dwell to the figure in your workshop manual, then set the ignition timing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecheck dwell after the first few hundred miles while the rubbing block beds in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace the condenser at the same time if it is original or suspect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit my 1974 Porsche 914 2.0?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJP Group lists the 914.
