Is Jim Linder (Bubba) still doing ignitions? I know he was sick and down sizing a few years ago? TIA

Re: No spark
Cas3 before I ran the Emery cloth through points I changed out the coil with a coil that I had on the Shelf with no effect. I also changed out the condenser with one that I had on the Shelf too

Re: No spark
I'm really baffled. I'm still having a hard time figuring out how to test the coil, points and the condenser with a voltmeter? Took the distributor cap off and ran Emery cloth through the points....

Re: Dawsonville Moonshine Festival
Gets smaller and smaller every year. Still fun but not like it used to be when all the 40's parked around the city square. I did pick up some Merc parts at the swap meet today though

Re: Small head temp gage.
I just removed mine to add dual mechanical gauges under the dash. Sad to remove that moon eyes gauge. Nice to see the temp under the hood
