After hours (it is an insane process) I had all points at 110/250 +/- 5 degrees.
I am still looking to get 4 new points.
Any suggestions where I can get them? Mercedes, VW, Porsche?

Your best bet may be to find one or two used sets of complete trigger points and if they too are worn, and try and salvage the points that have the least wear to make one good set. I have seen them being sold for $35.00/set on the forums but haven't looked recently (eBay sellers usually want too much)
BTW, in looking through some old pics, I found this one. Is this where you bent the points? Shouldn't have needed much of a bend to make up for the rubbing block wear?
