Let us know what you find!   [Reply]  [No Email]

But now that I think about it, are your points open or closed? If they're closed, that should be grounded.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Sounds like the insulator may be cracked. You can buy a new stud and insulator kit. Some guys just run the wire from the coil all the way through the hole and connect it directly to the points. Be sure to fill the hole with RTV if you do that.   [Reply]  [No Email]
