Jack I used your video of "How to time a Model A" to develop my timing procedure. I know that it should not matter where you connect the test light, either to the red wire coil side or the point arm, but I did it several times and each time coil made a little glow in the bulb filament and point arm the bulb was totally out. The car runs normal but I also know something has to be incorrect for that glow to occur. I will continue to try and isolate the ground. My points are clean.
