frog Topic Author Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 1431 Karma: 59 Thank you received: 3	thank you guys for the info. now i think i remember reading that you can take the mag cap and lower part of the mag off to replace the points, with out having to remove the timing belt. is that correct or did i dream that? thanks again. frog Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
