Robert,
IMHO go with the replacement points. About the only
reason for getting the Lucas part I can think of would be
if your terribly concerned with original parts for concours
show or something. I can't think of any other reason to
pay the extra cost, as points are one of the expendible
tuning parts most often replaced. ( I'd even go with a
solid state ignition if you can afford it and get rid of
the point problem for good.)
Besides, Lucas parts have never had a reputation for
being most reliable anyway, unless they've change quite a
bit over the years.
Others may have a different opinion, and I'm sure they
will let you know a give you the reason's why. Thats kind
of what this list is all about, an exchange of information. I've learned a lot
just monitoring some of the exchanges.
When it comes down to it the final decision is up to you.
Harlan.
