no I don't leave the key on with points.

the metal tip welded to the arm that the contact pad is secured too. almost 2 yrs service with no adjustments on that set.

cant get any better than that. they were a nice NOS Accell 32oz set.

I am a little more fresh with it and not so much fused on the basics.

I really should get a pertronix points conversion and be done with it.

not sure about the ignitor III set up though.. it looks like it does the most for the $
