Yikes!

I burned my points by turning the ignition on (without running the engine) to run the air pump before traveling! Dummy! (but I didn't know it had points!)

Now I am stuck with sub freezing weather threatening my plumbing. I made it overnight ok, but cannot last many nights, so it is important to get these points replaced.

Will any '73 Olds Toronado points & condenser be ok? (NAPA gives me 11 options!)

I am having a hard time working on the points because the centrifugal advance mechanism above the points is in the way...I see no way to remove it Sad

Dave (in Dunnellon FL & eager to escape!)
