If you crank the engine over by hand with the trigger points still installed, you can disconnect the three-contact plug, connect an ohm meter to the contacts (middle contact is common to both sets) and verify the openning and closing. The timing and dwell is not critical like it is on ignition points. If you are getting anywhere around 180 deg of open and 180 deg of closed, that baby should be good to go. You can bend the "fixed" side of the contacts slightly to make up for the wear of the lobe follower.
