Bosch Ignition Contact Set Points

Bosch ignition contact set points (also called breaker points or distributor contact sets) are the switching component in a conventional breaker-point ignition system. They open and close the primary circuit of the ignition coil, which creates the high-voltage spark that fires each spark plug.

Key Features:

• Designed to replace worn or pitted breaker points in conventional distributors
• Precision-made contacts for consistent spark timing and reliable engine starting
• Built to hold dwell and gap settings over time
• Manufactured by Bosch, a long-time supplier of ignition components to automakers
• Suited to tune-ups and maintenance on classic and vintage engines

Worn or burned contact points can cause hard starting, misfires, rough idle, and poor fuel economy. Replacing them as part of regular maintenance helps keep the engine running smoothly. After installation, set the point gap and dwell angle and check the ignition timing. Replace the condenser at the same time for best results.
