Does anyone know an easy way to adjust the stationary point? The NOS ones we recently put in my 1000 were a pain. Had to keep removing one, bolt it down, then use needle nose to bend it a little. Then put it back in, check it to see if it's close, then take it out and bend it again.

Every thing i find just says "Bend the stationary point"

Thanks,
Dan

But found this today while searching. www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-snap-on-ignition-point-bender-points-gauge So maybe I can fashion one like this.
