Topic: Which points plate for '78 CB550K?

[jbswearingen]

The 2&3 points on this bike are worn out (can't time them at all--they're perpetually advanced), so I'm thinking of just replacing the whole points plate assembly, as the cost of it from Cycle Parts Nation is just a few bucks more than the cost of the two OEM points from Honda.

Question is this...They have listed two (2) brands' plates, Toyo and Hitachi.

With my GT380, Nippon Denso and Kokusan are interchangeable as a set, but not individual pieces.  If you buy the plate assembly, they switch out, but you can't buy one brand's points for the other brand's plate (learned that the hard way).

Will either of these just pop right in, as long as I have the whole assembly?  Which would you recommend?

Thanks!
