Echlin points and condenser from NAPA auto, mine from White Salmon, Washington.

Dwell was set to 41* on July 24th [2016]
67,798 miles later, I replaced those points while troubleshooting an unrelated issue. They only required a 200-mile break-in adjustment and grease twice a year. Neither the points gap nor timing changed over the next three years and three laps of the country.

In related news, I have e-mails out to a few parts chains looking for 237B tailpipes. If they turn up dry I will consult the muffler shop that just made me a nice 1973 fuel filler pipe out of exhaust components.
