Topic: Best place to buy points for 76 Cb750?

[God of Thunder]

I purchased some points from 4Into1 - the left one was perfectly aligned with the factory one. However, the right one was almost 1/8" longer than the factory one - and won't fit in behind the cam. This was quite disappointing this Weekend as I was hoping to get the bike running for the first time! Is there a better place to buy points? Here's a photo!

Likely cheap Chinese crap products, Diachi brand most likely which have next to impossible to time 2-3 points set.
It is best to buy the complete OEM Honda loaded points plate as it is cheaper than purchasing the points and condensers separate. If the condenser is a Diachi brand just toss it in the trash, they are often defective out of the box or fail quickly.
Many of us won't buy from 4 into 1 as many of their products are unusable or of poor quality, IMHO.
Unfortunately, the adage of , Buy cheap, buy twice applies...

From Honda. South Sound Honda usually has the best price.
Any aftermarket you will run into problems with the points and condensers and hopefully you have learned your lesson. Even ebay you will run into problems as some sellers list the Honda part numbers in their ad and yet sell cheap Chinese junk, not OEM parts.
As David said it is cheaper just to get the whole point plate assembly than individual parts. At $25, $26 and $28 for each individual part of points and condensers the $89 assembly is cheaper than the 4 individual parts.

#1 is the points plate assembly to get

Yamiya stuff is also reliably good

Stu! I wanted to come back to this as the weather will "soon" be nicer to get out there here in the frigid midwest. Are you saying if I order #1 which is like $89 - that has the plate, points, and condensers already on it?

Although genuine Honda is typically the best parts to buy, another option can be from Z1parts.net.  They pride themselves on quality parts and not from China. I have never been disappointed in the many parts I have bought for my Kawasaki, however I have not purchased these.
Just throwing it out there as another possible option...

I've also bought a lot of parts from Z1parts.net for the KZ 1000. I had already done the 550 when I found Z1parts and saw that they had Honda parts too. They have a No Chinese parts logo on their website.

Now, THOSE are some ugly points! Not only too tall, they are crooked to boot - at least in the picture?

Yes. Complete plate assembly.

TEC plate is much better than Daichii.
TEC plate has a guide pin for 2:3 point which has a groove to fit.
This makes it easier to adjust it and stay there. Moves less when tighten it.
A real pain with the cheap bad ones.

I ordered stock Honda TEC from Jtmarks several years ago.
