Terry: I'm not sure what you mean by "Standard" points. OEM (NorthEast, later Delco) points for the 33/34 with twin coil have always been hard to find and were very expensive even 20 or more years ago. Even when you could find them they were sometimes as much as $300 for a set (2 sets required), sometimes even in used condition, though for a period a few years back there were some sets on eBay for less. If you can find them, by all means use them as they far outlast modern points but I suspect your best chance will be the conversion kit which uses Chrysler points from the 70s. I still run original NE points just because I've had the car so long I had the opportunities to buy a sufficient lifetime supply back in the 60s when they were available.

Pictures of the available conversion kit below. It isn't necessary to find a way to mount modern condensors in the original vertical position, they can fit in the conventional manner with a little judicious positioning - see picture of a homemade kit I did many years ago, installed.
