I concur, 'Clan'. We always ran our older Volvos (which were much less old then, of course) on Bosch plugs and points with very few issues between services.

We very quickly learnt that cheaper (inferior) ones were a false economy. Plugs were unreliable under load and seemed to require constant cleaning and regapping. Likewise, we were forever chasing the points gap as the heel wore down very quickly in use.

Regards, John.
