My 12V negative ground 1931 Tudor lost spark while hot idling in my drive. It had been a reliable touring car for years before I bought it.

It was running great, but shut down suddenly while idling. I've pulled plug leads and used a new plug to ground but have lost spark while cranking.

I am running a modern upper plate and points looks like with a wireless NuRex lower plate. Points are clean and gapped at .020.

My skills are more mechanical than electrical.

All thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

Thx!
