Here is Autozones part# DR1077MV. I don't promote Autozone. I just kept their part number handy. If you want to shop elsewhere just have them look up one of the above vehicles/engine combos.

The only catch to that is some brands and models may have a terminal design that does not quite fit in the cart engines.

Standard Ignition brand Blue Streak series #DR2240x has so far been a very good quality part that fits both early and later carts. The X is important, it is the premium version. Visually its copper platted and has the lubricating wick. Many of the other formerly good brands if they are even still around seem to have turned to crap.

As noted they fit a lot of engines so they are not usually too hard to find. Basically fit any of the GM inline engines from the 60's and early 70's as well as any others that used a Delco distributor which included a lot of industrial and marine engines like Mercruiser.

Summit Racing has them as does Rock Auto.

cool i like having a reference for points. the eay version is cheap. hey a great sticky would be harley cart parts reference numbers. for points filters. bearings etc. i sharpied all the filter numbers on the panel on my onan generator on my rv that way its right there and a fyi napa numbers are the same as wix just take off the first number

ckiguy

yes its a good set of points, needs 2 mods as i recall, need to bend the wire terminal 90 degrees to clear the cover, and th terminal needs the cut a bit deeper. i used it on a 69, and a67. been running for 3 years now, no issues. can get them cheap too, just get te good american made ones, not the chinnese crap.......

I Have a few preferences in point sets and if I can post photos here from Word I will or just give numbers, They are the Delco 108P, BWD A109P or other brands equivalent. I prefer the push on wire connection at the points... Works very well and takes less room!

Another thread jogged my memory about earlier using a different design points. The GM style points were used 71-86. 63-66 was one style (very hard to find), 67-70 was another still around but not cheap, and then the 71-86 which is easy to find only catch being the terminal design.

The 63-66 had the wire attached.
The 67-70 was a 2 screw where the terminal junction stayed on the plate.
The 71-86 was a single screw with a pivot peg

Yes, I also have had points that had a terminal screw so long I had to put the nut toward the inside of the points. Some I had to saw off to fit without a chance of shorting to the case. Some I had to attach the coil wire on first then install the points. That is why I like the push on terminals. I have adapted points and plugs I have had around the shop for 45 years. Improvise Adapt and Overcome!

i have a torch, welders chop saws a porta band, etc i can make it fit

i went to my local napa i went with the echelin points and condenser for a 1969 nova 6 cylinder. when you look made in mexico. they have the nut like my old points had but some just clip in. either way i can make it work. i bought gasket material for the dust cover to prevent shorting the pepsi box someone cut out previously was about gone
