Had one that slipped years ago on an Olds Delta 88 with over 100 K miles. I believe it was a 350 engine. I did not want to go through all of the work to order and replace it just to set the timing, so I just put a new mark on it with white out and timed it. It had a Delta CD ignition on it so the points never wore other than the block wearing on the cam. So I figured it would be another 100K before anyone ever looked at it again. I do not remember what happened to that car in the years after that.
