Timing? Coil? need help!
So I had discussed how my car had died. It ended up that the pad on the points had worn off. I put new points and condenser in the car. I timed it with a light as said in the book, and got it looking right according to the test light. I drove it and it still had a sputter in high gear, and not nearly the power it had before. I then set the timing again with a new rex wrench. I drove it tonight and in about 5 miles it started to boil over, (it had some before when I timed with the light as well) and had lower power again. The headlights also seemed dimmer than normal, but not sure how good the battery is either. (has a new alternator) Could it be the coil? When it first died, I bought a new coil at the parts store in town. (6 volt) The guy at Little Dearborn told me that the coil needed to be the right type, something with the resister. I plan to throw the old one in and see what happens, but I am thinking the timing may still be off. Any thoughts? Thanks
