RT52 Points?

[misterlou]

Hello there. I'm a newbie. Recently purchased a '69 Corona 2dr., 4spd- an RT52 I believe, with a 3RC engine. It had been sitting for 5 years. So I'm going through it getting everything flushed out and greased up. I'm having a bear of time getting the right points. Tried 2 really good independent foreign parts places as well as a Toyota dealer and I keep getting the wrong set of points.
The old points were one piece and had a pivot point that set into a detent on the distributor base. The sets I keep getting are two-piece points which are a hair too big, the holes for the hold down/adjustment screws are too wide.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Lou Weinert

--The Toyota & some aftermarket points are two piece as used on the original distributor breaker plate which has a post for the pivot. Some aftermarket points are made as one piece points with a hole at the pivot to fit on the post.

The 04191-40010 points were used on 3RB/3RC including:
196 -65 Crown RS30/40/31/41 w/3RB
1964-67 Stout RK41
1965-70 Corona RT4#/5#
1969-71 Corona Mark II RT6#/7# w/8RC (most)
1969-71 Corona RT8#/9 w/8RC (most)
And others

--On some re-manufactured distributors, the breaker plate does not have a post. These have a small hole in the breaker plate at the pivot point that a small 'tit' on the bottom of the points fits into.
