Hey TC... 200 Series Bendix shower of sparks type.

Visual inspection of points every 100 hrs/12 months whichever came
first with point replacement based on condition noted. Doesn't take a
rocket scientist to pop the contact cover screws and notice that the
points are worn/gap out of limits (too big if the contacts are eroded,
too small if the plastic cam follower is worn).

1000 hr/5 year internal lubrication following the TCM/Bendix
recommended procedures.

Overhaul/replacement at normal TBO interval for the engine they were
mounted to.

As others have mentioned, if the 500 hr impulse coupling check was
mandated, the impulse mag/mags were pulled for coupling inspection,
internal timing check/point replacement (again determined by
point/follower condition).

Lycoming SI 1291 (as I recall) addresses more frequent inspection of
the distributor block on magnetos used primarily at high altitudes. I
don't have a copy of it handy, and do not remember the hourly
requirements.
