Im going to do a tune up to my 70 skylark 350 this weekend. So I dont get a blank stare from the teenager at the auto parts store can you tellme what the points number is? Plugs? Thanks! Drew in South CARolina
NAPA parts: Cap: RR165 Rotor: RR167R Points: CS786 Condenser: RR175 (3-5/8 wire length) or RR176 (2-7/64 wire length) DO NOT USE THE POINTS WITH THE CONDENSER MONTED TO THEM ("Uni-points"), USE SEPARATE POINT SET AND CONDENSER.
ignition parts consider buying an accel cap & rotor (much better quality that than the regular aftermarket crap ) . i use the points/condensor combination & have no problem with it . u need a set of feeler point guages to initially set the points . but each to his own .
If the parts counter guy cannot figure out how to look up points and a cap and rotor for that engine, he should not be standing behind a parts counter. Jim Burek
Let me point one thing out, important, the NAPA cap and rotor I part numbered here are EXACTLY THE SAME PARTS AS THOSE SOLD BY ACCEL, only black instead of tan. These NAPA parts, and the Accel parts are made in Mexico, by Dana Corporation, same quality, same factory. To purchase the Accel parts over the NAPA part numbers I posted, simply from being incorrectly informed about quailty issues, is simply wasting money. And, NAPA has a value line, with the letters SB after the parts numbers (actually, the lesser line of Standard Blue Streak parts sold in NAPA boxes), that ARE NOT the better quality the regular NAPA parts are, so...don't use the SB suffix parts.
