I think its pretty neat that to enhance the performance of an old car you
just install a new set of points at a cost of $2.69. I also think it's
pretty neat that you need to spend only $14.95 to buy a diagnostic
instrument called a volt-ohmeter to test and determine whether your points
need to be replaced. You can perform the test yourself. You don't need
any highly specialized training. If you don't know how to do conduct the
test, then you just read a paragraph in the owner's manual for your
volt-ohmeter and then you are ready to conduct the test. This task will
take about half a minute for you to perform. Maybe five minutes if you
don't already know how and you have to read the manual first. I think that
is a lot more cool than taking a new car to the shop where they charge you
$45.00 to hook up your car's computerized electronics to their $50,000
diagnostic machine. After your mechanic conducts the test, you will just
have to trust in his knowledge and integrity when he tells you that you
need a new electronic ignition module at a cost of $130.00 plus $25.00 for
installation. Your repair bill all adds up to $200.00. I think it's a lot
more cool just to spend $2.69 for a set of new points for your old car.
All the best,
