Re: Premium Ignition Points For 120

Almost certainly your problem is a failing or mis-matched condenser and not corrosion of the points due to humidity. While tungsten alloy points can oxidize lightly after very prolonged storage in less than ideal conditions, even that is quite uncommon for a car is regular use. I also live in humid New Jersey and have never had problems with points "corroding". I'll bet if you polish and regap (or replace) your points and install a new condenser your problems will be behind you.

Tungsten is the universal metal for the contact pads on ignition points, I've never heard of any other metal being used for automotive ignition points.
