Dont know if you have a NAPA, but I just bought on of these distributors also. Here are their part numbers if your looking just to get the thing running and dont care about "genuine". I understand NOS is the best, but on a budget, all the stuff costs 19.24 excluding tax:
ECH EP150 (rotor) $4.88
ECH EP125 (Condenser) $ 2.39
ECH EP 149 (Cap) $7.88
ECh CS336 (Points) $4.09 _________________ John

Better to reuse an oldie than to start a new thread just for a drive dog. PM me and I can send you one.
Let me guess that the one you had now has a broken ear? They are softer than the Bosch drives and I have broken a couple and have learn to be careful with them. _________________ Roads Scholar &

btw, when shopping for points watch for sets that have the phenalic washer included. It fits between the two parts of the points and some NOS sets do not have this washer. _________________ Roads Scholar &

I actually was trying to drive the pin out to turn it 180. It had been working fine. I had to pull the engine for a bad main bearing. Put the engine back in and no spark from the coil to dizzy. Coil is getting power, everything shows the coil is OK. Not sure why all the sudden no spark. Points were opening and closing as they should, gap was good, points and condenser only have a few hundred miles on them. Not sure what was going on. The only thing that was different was the dizzy was clocked 180 from where it was before. I know this shouldn't matter, but I was trying anything.
I'll probably take you up on the drive dog. However, I'm considering just getting a new(er) dizzy since I can't figure out why I'm getting no spark all the sudden.

Sometimes its a grounding issue with the distributor. The Garbe Lahmeyer distributor is pretty much fool proof in this regard however since the points plate is literally screwed to the distributor housing. Bosch units sometimes rely upon a ground strap that gets feeble over time.
The older mechanical advance cast iron distributors also have the common issue of the through bolt for the condenser grounding on the distributor housing. If you were moving things around it may have been bumped and is now grounding out your points. _________________ Roads Scholar &

How did you find these part numbers? Under what year and model? The points are NLA through NAPA |

Just did a search under "points" and the first three ads were for the points you are looking for and the then 4 out the first ten ads. This was on 12/29/14. _________________ Roads Scholar &
