Bill, You need to be able to measure the voltages at thecoil, points, alternator, etc. so you KNOW what is happening. Go to Radio Shack, or Home Despot for that matter, and buy a cheap (under $20) meter. Get an analog one not digital. I say that because in a noisy circuit the digital meters can be very hard to read because the numbers keep changing. With a volt meter in hand, you can then check to see what voltages you have witht eh points open and then closed at the points/coil. I don't remember the readings you should get but they are in the archives. With out actually knowing what the voltages are, you are gust guessing about what the various resistors are doing. This is the age old problem with conversions, there is NO standard so that every one knows what is is being used and what it does. Resistors vary widely in their characteristics, even though they may be marked as having the same value. AND often the presumed value is not what the resistor acutally is. There can be as much as a 20% variation in the true resistance. Even in resistors from the same manufacture that are listed as the same value. Regards,
Larry
