You need to check some things on the points before reuse.
Are the contacts pittedĀ ? You can dress them with a point file. Stay away from sand paper , emery cloth etc. Clean them after filing.
Are they burned- discolored and do the contacts close flat and aligned together. If not ,replace them.
Is the rubbing block worn? If so, replace them.
Buy a point file and a set of feeler gauges at the auto parts store. The gauges you will need to adjust the valves and the points on your restored bike.
Guessing at valve and point clearance will only cause major frustration and possibly engine damage.
