Default Re: Electrical Problem

Eureka, I’ve found the problem. I removed the coil and terminal box. The wires in the box are in terrible shape (bare spots) and difficult to get out of the box as some are too short. It was obvious that there could be a short in there. I separated these wires and re-installed the coil. For the first time I got sparks between the points. I plan to figure out which wires need replacing before I do much else although first, I plan to time the distributor and try to start the engine.

Many thanks to all of you for your help and patience.

Robert
