I am confused as continuity is good with no grounding to anything, except points show continuity to ground when my coil is hooked up, but I read this is normal since resistance is so low on the primary side. If points and condenser are new and have been replaced, what could possible change by just sitting for 4 years. [Reply]  [No Email]

If the rotor shaft is in time with the cam, it should operate. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]
