NAPA/Echlin CS 725A is, if still available, the correct number for the heavy duty point set for that vehicle. The Standard Ignition number for the same points was (is still?) AL 5255XP. Substitute (not OEM style) point sets if these numbers are superceded may be missing the dog leg on the base plate which fitted over the eccentric screw to make gap adjustment easier but function just fine.

The NAPA/Echlin vintage car catalog pages with these and numbers for the cap, rotor, coil, condenser, generator and regulator, starter brushes and bearings, etc. has been posted on this site numerous times; scout around a bit and you should find it, I recommend you download it and print yourself a copy.
