I have an Opel. I thought I was the only one who ever heard of them. It goes through ignition points like crazy. Any advice on tuning a Solex carburetor?

Welcome Bill. Your Solex carb is rare and very desirable. It can be tuned with basic hand tools. I use a ball- peen hammer and vice grips to tune mine.
You can find great deals on points on ebay. Some places even offer self gapping points made in China. Hope this helps. -
Ditch the points and Solex. Points are as outdated as a horse drawn chariot, and I am pretty sure Mr. Scaramanga will be paying you a visit if you dont get rid of that Solex. Unless of course you believe James actually succeeded in killing him.
