Default Re: Car died will not start

The bottom plate has a short multistrand very flexible wire with a flag terminal that is fastened to the bottom of the points pivot/mounting stud. You must tighten the nut then bend the flag terminal against the nut. If you don't bend the terminal up against the nut then it might stick out enough to touch the spring and short to ground.
