This high temperature grease won't fly out onto your points like Vaseline, or other greases! STICKY to stay on the distributor shaft and centrifugal advance mechanism. This is also EXCELLENT for the needle bearings for your transmission input shaft, it's usually inside the engine's gland nut.The 1 jar size doesn't sound like much, but it will last you years! You only need a meager amount every time you use it.
You should put some of this on the point lobe every 3k miles. This is also GREAT for input shaft and throw out bearings (inside the gland nut or flywheel), since it won't get hot and then fly out onto your clutch! Also used for generator or alternator bearings. This is a must for your garage.
If you want good, reliable ignition, your points need to be in good shape. We only sell Genuine Bosch Tungsten Plated Points, which can be refiled every 3000 miles rather than replacing them like the cheapies! These are 1 Piece Points that fit 1971 and newer T-1 and T-2s, and also 009s, 050s, and 094s (Chrome 009s).
These work fine for applications up to 6000 RPMs. The ONLY difference the 009 "Tiger Stripe" Points have is the spring is stiffer, so they are better above 6000 RPMs.

Genuine Bosch 009 points have a white stripe on them (Called "Tiger Stripe" points). You can use regular late beetle points if you keep RPMs below 6K, and it costs 1/3 the 009 set! But genuine 009 points (with the white stripe) are good to 8000 RPMs. The higher spring tension on these points WILL wear out the rubbing block faster than other points due to higher spring pressure. It's also interesting that if you buy a brand new 009 distributor it doesn't come with these genuine 009 points, it has the cheap ones (01-010)! Physically they are interchangeable, but the spring tension is totally different. The 01-010s are good to ~6k RPM, the Tiger Stripes are good to 8k.
