: ...and 33k is WAY too much mileage to put on a set of points...I can only imagine how much performance your engine is being robbed of...I used to reset the dwell/gap EVERY 3 MONTHS & replace them every 6 because they were fried after that short amount of time...Oh sure it still ran, but not to its fullest potential...
