Contact Points Set (Sliding Type) for the distributor ignition of the 3.5 V8 petrol engine, part of the contact-breaker ignition system.

The points are the cam-operated breaker contacts inside the distributor: the distributor cam opens and closes them in step with the engine to switch the ignition coil primary circuit, generating the high-tension pulse that fires each spark plug. The sliding type locates on the breaker plate with a sprung contact arm.

Contact points are a service-wear item - the faces pit and erode and the gap drifts over time, so they are renewed and re-gapped as part of routine ignition maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC6626 contact points set used for?
The RTC6626 contact points set is the cam-operated breaker contacts inside the distributor on the 3.5 V8 petrol engine. They switch the ignition coil's primary circuit to fire each spark plug. The sliding type locates on the breaker plate with a sprung contact arm.
Why do the contact points need replacing?
Contact points are a service-wear item. The contact faces pit and erode over time and the gap drifts, which weakens the spark and causes misfires or hard starting. They're renewed and re-gapped as part of routine ignition maintenance on the 3.5 V8.
Which vehicles does this points set fit?
This sliding-type points set fits the 3.5 V8 petrol engine in the Range Rover Classic (1970-1994) and Defender (1986-2006), using the contact-breaker distributor ignition. Confirm your distributor uses sliding contact points rather than electronic ignition before ordering.
