Ignition Points Adjustment Tool
 

Where can I purchase an ignition points adjustment tool?

For a stock distributor you need a flat head screwdriver to adjust the points mount and a 1/8" allen wrench to adjust the dwell. You also need a dwell meter (set to about 30º) unless you want to use a points gap gauge (set to .019"). All of these tools are available at almost any parts store.

What I am looking for is a long flexible shaft screw driver with a 1/8" allen head on the end.

I have one that hasn't been used in years...PM me your address and it's your's :cheers:

I never knew such a thing existed. Is there any advantage over a regular little L-shaped allen wrench?

Nice thing about the flex driver is, you can set it in there and know your not gonna get a shock. (btw, remember to re-check your timing once you have done the points)

Here is the one I have got. Of course, like AJ Foyt would say, mine was handed down from my father to me.

There's lots of stuff out there that only the professionals know about. Did you know that there are extra long screw drivers...about 4 feet long for adjusting the idle mixture and idle speed? I've got a pair that I've loaned out to a friend which really help on hot days when it's too painful to lean over a hot engine...I'd rather get my tan the old fashion way.

I just bought one like this from NAPA, works for the carb and the distributer. About $12 I think.
