I don't think he's a member here, but send him a message and ask what the Bosch part number stamped on the rotor is. We can tell that way if it is a points rotor.Does Bryce have a handle here on AS? I want to make sure the FW I'm getting will power the points in here.

i'll read the thread a little later...If you're attempting to change from the electronic ignition to the old points, I do want to mention that I came up with a fix for the Bosch electronic ignition. My opinion is you are far better off with the electronic ignition especially with an inexpensive fix that I believe will solve the common Bosch ignition failure. But this is up to you. And another comment--- it is not the so called coil that is failing.

That is good to know. Is it on a thread already? Lakeside used to talk a lot about the Bosch coils being prone to failure. Fortunately I have three old 56 M2s, and they all have the other coil. I need to get two of them put back together and part out the third. Too much going on these days, though.If you're attempting to change from the electronic ignition to the old points, I do want to mention that I came up with a fix for the Bosch electronic ignition.
