Product Details

The Standard Motor Products GB4073P is a precision-engineered ignition contact set, commonly known as breaker points, designed for classic vehicles equipped with traditional distributor-based ignition systems. This critical ignition component serves as an electrically controlled switch that opens and closes to interrupt current flow in the primary circuit of the ignition coil, creating the high-voltage spark needed to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders.

Key Features:

  • OEM-quality construction ensures reliable ignition performance and proper engine operation
  • Precision-machined contact surfaces provide consistent electrical connectivity and spark timing
  • Spring-loaded design maintains proper contact pressure for optimal dwell angle
  • Cam follower mechanism ensures accurate timing synchronized with engine rotation
  • Designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications

Contact sets are wear items that require periodic replacement as part of routine ignition system maintenance. The contact points operate frequently, opening and closing multiple times with every revolution of the distributor shaft, which causes gradual wear to the contact surfaces. Standard Motor Products manufactures this replacement contact set to restore proper ignition timing and engine performance when factory points become worn or pitted.

Note: This component is designed for vehicles with traditional points-based ignition systems. Proper gap adjustment is essential for optimal performance. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for correct specifications and installation procedures.

Bought a Husky trunk liner for my Civic. Autoplicity had the lowest price I could find, plus I received it in two days. Only problem I had was that their website had a problem with the part fit check. Although the description and part number was for the 2012 Civic, the part check said it would not fit. Had to wait until Monday to call customer service to verify that it would fit before I ordered. Would definitely order from Autoplicity again.

Second time customer of Autoplicity: Ordered Husky Liners Weatherbeater Floor mats for a 2012 Toyota Tundra, Called in this morning to verify availability, call answered on second ring, great service placed the order immediately. Haven't even received the product yet but the service has been so outstanding had to let everyone know this company is for real. Best pricing online, wont buy products anywhere else.<br><br>Justin Myers

Awesome service, lowest price around. Great customer service

Easy to deal with, lowest price and included quick shipping.

This is our second order from Autoplicity. The first one didn't go so well due to a mix up with the Sparco seat pricing. Though I was starting to question our decision to order from them after several emails and phone calls and online chats, they came through in the end. These guys earned our second order by honoring the price they had listed and then calling to follow up when our race seat was shipped. Since this group was able turn our bad experience into a positive one we made our second order and, so far, it looks like they are again getting us what we want at the best price we can find. We are happy to recommend Autoplicty and plan on using them for future orders. There is one specific thing we would recommend, change the quality and volume of the hold music on the 800 #. It sounded like we were calling a 1970's van with a blown Jensen stereo turned all the way up,...

Quick and efficient, Thank You!

Fast, with great prices. I would definitely buy from Autoplicity again.

Great selection if parts, fast shipping!
