Correct. I use the felt pad soaked in oil that keeps the rubbing block lubed pretty well. I don't even bother lubing it as a maintenance practice. Matter of fact the 20 year old points I pulled out of my firebird that had about 45,000 miles on them looked virtually unscathed on the rubbing block and compared identical to the new set I put in. I could have simply filed the contacts on those points to clean them up a bit and put them back in service. There was really no need to even change them but I let a few guys here talk me into it when I was racing the car stating it would help, but the car never ran any quicker.
