I'm in this camp. Maybe a ballast issue also? How do the point contact pads look?

The contact pad has a brighter metal spot on 1/3 of the contact. It looks normal wear to me, not an arcing type burn. Check out post #18 the arcing on the backside of the points is not normal. I didn't post the pic,but that is my distributor.
