Wells 4P1599 Ignition Contact Set Breaker Points

The Wells 4P1599 Ignition Contact Set is a precision-engineered replacement breaker point set designed to restore proper ignition system performance. This contact set controls the current flowing through the ignition coil's primary winding, creating the precisely timed spark necessary for optimal engine operation.

Key Features:

• Manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications for reliable performance
• Precision-ground contact surfaces for consistent electrical conductivity
• Durable construction designed to withstand high temperatures and electrical loads
• Critical component for distributor-based ignition systems
• Direct replacement for proper fit and function

Function and Benefits:

Ignition contact sets work in conjunction with the distributor cam to open and close the electrical circuit to the ignition coil. When the points open, the magnetic field in the coil collapses, generating the high voltage needed to fire the spark plugs. Worn or improperly gapped points can cause hard starting, misfiring, poor fuel economy, and rough idle. Regular replacement ensures reliable ignition timing and optimal engine performance.
