My engine has been a bit hard to start lately.
1. File points and clean them. Result - engine runs worse.
2. Replace points and condenser. Result - no spark at all.
3. New points have about 800K resistance when closed
4. File
new points and clean them. Twice.
5. Resistance now about 0 ohms closed.
6. Put new rotor on just because it is sitting there.
7. Test new condenser and old one - both meter at about 220 pF.
8. Find other old condenser in drawer and that one is 220 pF too.
9. Put distributor back together with new cleaned points and new condenser.
10. Test spark with wire from coil - nice long blue spark.
11. Engine still won't start
12. Put wire back on distributor
13. Engine fires right up
