Blue Streak Points.

Had a hard time finding Blue Streak Points for my 351c Distributor. Found out that NAPA sells Echlin (Blue streak) ignition parts. I have used them for years. But its been a few years since I changed a set. Best part, they aren't made in China. Hecho en Mexico. Ole....

Blue Streak has been a line of parts by Standard Motor Products for many decades. I used them in the 60's, partly because my brother sold for SMP during that time. SMP acquired Echlin in 2003, so somehow the Blue Streak line became associated with Echlin.

. I usually just replace the points with a Crane XR-i:

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crn-750-1710/overview

"These Crane points-to-electronic ignition conversion kits mount completely inside of the distributor, in the stock points location, with two wires to hook up. They're fully urethane-sealed and over-temperature protected for long life. They pick up timing directly from the points cam, with no shutter wheel required. The fully digital XR-i converters also feature a rev limiter that is screwdriver adjustable from 4,000 to 8,000 rpm to protect your engine. "
