I run the same plate as was fit 49 years and over 140.000 km ago. I can't remember I have replaced the breakerpoints more than twice. The last 60.000 km they only have had to switch the control current for my further transistorized ignition. I suppose the right amount of tungsten make these TEC points so good. As I have posted just the other day, the double ignition (wasted spark config.) enables plenty time for both saturating as well as discharging even at max rpm.
Whatever you buy, make sure it's a brand that you can contact when there's an issue.
