hey Ron,
i did speak to planetman the other night regarding the quality or lack of Bosch parts of recent vintage. I had my first 1971 car in UK cold and damp and we swore by Bosch parts, changed the cap, leads plugs, button and points at the onset of winter and drove year round with spare points cap and button with tools to put them on in the trunck. Recently on trips to well known autostore, i m noticing they are ordering Bosch equipment from Worldpac and parts come in very quickly, i can only surmise parts are coming in from mexico. I had long heard of this and maybe this is why this part failed??? i wont say prematurely as i dont know how long they are supposed to last; its like the points, they are like tires you dont run them down until theres nothing left,
Thanks once again all for another little project completed, if covid goes on any longer, i have either a car in complete pieces or one where everything works like the day it left the factory :)
Rob
