does anyone know where i can buy the adjusting screws to gap the points without buying the complete set?
i have 2 sets of points without the adjusting screws.
 
Just about any good parts or hardware store should have them. Take your distributor plate along to make sure they fit. you may have to cut them off. This can be easily done with a pair of wire strippers.
 
the screws i mean are the ones that contact the points, not the lock screws.
they used to be available separately without buying the full set.
 
I would suggest resurfacing a good used set of the threaded adjusters and use those with the new parts of the points you have. There is usually plenty material left on these points that allow for resurfacing.
I probably have dozens of these I've removed from used '33-'36 distributors I've picked up at swap meets over the years. If you can't find them, I'll mail you a set.

t35, I sent you a PM on this several days ago. I need your name and address to send these parts to you.

Just another thought , only the drivers side will show wear ! Its the break side . So i guess you could rotate the contacts every so many miles to get more mileage ?????? The Jack Benny effect i suppose ??????
 
Tom, nothing came through to me on PayPal. Check the email address. If you didn't use a dot/period between my first and last name, that message probably went to someone else with the same name. You would need to cancel that and use correct email address.
In the meantime, send me a pm using Fordbarns system with your mailing address.
 
Maybe

Tom, received your mailing address, will get some of these in the mail to you with a little tip on how I resurface the contact end on these.

t35, just wanted to let you know that those points I promised to send should arrive at your place this Saturday, 7/14. I've resurfaced the contact tips on these for you, so they should be ready to install. Also sent you a PM on this. Good luck with your rebuild!
John
