If you disconnect all the wire from the points, the points turn into essentially a switch, and are easy to set with a dial indicator. I've always just used the stock setting marked on the rotor, set the gap, then set the timing, throw a timing light on it, true it in, and done. Im a "More ridin' and less wrenchin' kind of guy. ;) The whole static timing set takes only a few minutes once youve done it once and got familiar with it. :thumbup: A polished rotor for the points will help keep the timings and adjustments in check. I've only adjusted mine once in the last 5 years. :thumbup:
