Mitch and All,
I agree with your impression of the Blue Streak line. I've run the same points
in my TR6 for the past three driving seasons without adjusting. I did check
the dwell recently and it was still right on the nose. I also use a battery
switch so the points have never been burned by leaving the ignition switch in
the ON position by accident.
I always remove the distributor and place it in a cushioned vice to install the
points et all. Makes it much easier for me to more accurately adjust the gap
and get the wires on the post without shorting to ground....started doing this
when I was driving slant sixes. The slant six dizzy is located in a similar
area but much harder to see.
I use the following ignition parts....all available within a day from the
Advance Auto Parts chain. No point or condenser failures or cracked rotors or
caps.
Points - Standard Blue Streak part# LU1617XP
Condenser - Wells part# LU506
Rotor - Beck/Arnley part# 174-0224
Distributor cap - Sorensen part# 23-5001
Plugs - NGK BPR6ES
Good luck,
