I have to agree to convert to solid state like the Pertronix. I did it and it has been wonderful. I got it from Carl at Just BMW's in So. Cal. I think it was about $68 plus shipping. That was just a couple bucks. It was easy to install and you remove the need for points. I noticed a power increase which should also increase gas milage.

Good luck.

The correct Bosch points were fairly widely used at the time and shouldn't be hard to find. the Bosch part number is 01 011. They were used by most 69-74 BMWs, many 70-80 Audis, 73-74 Ford Pintos, 67-73 Saabs, many 71-80 VWs, etc.
An even better solution is to get rid of the points and condensor and go to Pertronix or Crane breakerless conversions. I think they are $60-70.
Yes, there may be some Chevy points that fit, but you'll never know if they wind up causing some strange problems.
