Lovely write up! I've just rebuilt my six pot dizzy - same model. I'd highly recommend throwing the points in the bin (where they belong IMHO!) and fitting a Powerspark electronic kit, though. I've been running one in my V8 for many years now, and just put one on the six pot. I'll never go back to mechanical points, short of some kind of thermonuclear apocalypse that destroys everything electronic.
Keep the updates coming!
