ya, DON'T!!! why do you want to go with an inaccurate, constantly changing, high maintenance, unreliable system as points are, when the electronic counterpart is soooo much better?

is it an evo or twin cam? either way crane makes a great single fire ignition system that uses very good components, I've used them in the past with very good results, there are others on the market, spend some time researching this . do not go back to points (must be an evo, don't know of any conversion to points for tc)

I don't know of any reason to go back to points, too high maintenance and inaccurate. Try here to see what's available. There are many great options to replace your stock electronics with a hi-perf upgrade. http://www.jpcycles.com/harley-parts...tion/exact-fit
