Contact breaker points by OE Match, this replacement component switches the coil circuit within a mechanical ignition system.

Fits

• Porsche 911 - 1977 to 1979
• Porsche 914 - 1973 to 1976
  
  

For Engine Codes

• 924 - XJ and XK

What This Product Does

The contacts repeatedly close and separate as the distributor turns, controlling current through the ignition coil. Their adjustment influences dwell and the point at which the ignition spark is triggered.

Functions

• Switches the coil's primary electrical circuit.
• Provides mechanical control of the ignition trigger.
• Allows the contact gap and dwell to be adjusted during servicing.

Symptoms of Fault

• Difficulty starting or an irregular idle.
• Misfiring during acceleration or under load.
• Intermittent loss of ignition at higher engine speeds.
• Burnt, pitted or visibly worn contact faces.
• Dwell or ignition timing that repeatedly moves out of adjustment.
  
  

Why Replacement Matters

Contact faces deteriorate through mechanical operation and electrical arcing. Renewing worn points addresses this service item, but the condenser, distributor condition and electrical connections should also be inspected where faults recur. Set the gap, dwell and ignition timing using the correct vehicle-specific procedure after fitting.

FAQs

Do these points distribute voltage to the spark plugs?
No. The points control the coil circuit; spark distribution is handled by the distributor's rotor and cap.

Should the condenser be checked?
Yes. A defective condenser can contribute to rapid contact deterioration and ignition faults.

Is rough running enough to confirm failed points?
No. Inspect the contacts and check adjustment, wiring and associated ignition components before replacing parts.
