Just thought I would update my thread about burnt points and hard starting.
I reversed the coil connections, installed a Japanese-made 0.022mf condenser, a set of USA made points, set them at 16thou and installed the dissy. Roared into life on the first crank of the starter (after sitting for over a month). I guess the whole thing happened because I had the coil wired the wrong way.
Thanks for the help.
