    As I ordered up some new AC DELCO ignition points for my '69's 230 and when I opened the box , out came a set of Standard Ignition Products $5.00 points....... :mad:

    I could have saved almost 50 % by ordering them up directly from Std. Ign. :p

    C'est La Vie I guess , lucky I can still get them atall I suppose :rolleyes: .

    I hear ya Nate. Anymore mail order is my last resort. I try to hit the local parts places (NAPA, Checker, etc.) in an attempt to "see what I am buying". Ya just never know what to expect with mail order.

    Just So !

    I too often go to NAPA as Echlin brand ignition parts are very good indeed .

    I'm just still a bloody piker , Yankee Farmer who pinches pennies all over the dang place & this time it bit my bum :mad: .

    No worries , I'll toss 'em in soon and see how it goes .
