Excellent point.  Especially on a car where the fuel pump relay turns 
off if there's no good coil signal (ie, no spark).

When my '57 loader was running like crap, I threw a dwell meter on it 
and it read 1-2 degrees (not good).  Simply drawing a feeler gauge 
through the points (get the awful pun above now?) was enough to get it 
back to 45 degrees (cleaned them).

Oh well, at least the car now has a good, quiet fuel pump in it.
