Even if your ignition will work as the point rubbing block wears down it will change your timing. So it might be a good idea to check the gap, clean the points and lube the rubbing block every 20,000 miles or so.

By the way even a Kettering ignition will function with worn points. I once did a tuneup on a 1967 Dodge Dart slant 6. The owner had the car towed in because it wouldn't start. The points gap was less than .003 yes 3 thousandths of an inch before it quit working. With new points plugs and condenser it ran like new.
