Are you sure the wire under the breaker plate isnt shorting against the inside of dist hsg? you have to be very careful when installing wire to moveable point stud that it wont touch side of hsg when installed. make sure wire is in good condition & not rubbing against coil spring.Also,need to be sure fiber washer washer is under lower side of point stud & steel or brass washer is narrow enough to not touch b-plate or dist hsg.
