That's an interesting way to get yourself an ACC position.

My impression is that they are as good as the old ones. I did notice, 
however, that one place I tried to buy them from sold a different part # that 
had a stronger spring. That would work, but it would wear out the cam and 
rubbing block faster. I carry the correct ones, with the long Bosch number 
ending in 044.

I also saved a few of the other ones, in case someone needs points that 
would be reliable at very high RPM.
