Then the ammeter seems to be working correctly and the battery should stay charged. Checking the wiring from the starter thru to the distributor/points for opens and grounds doesn't take too long. Look things over closely and don't be afraid to 'wiggle' things while attached to a continuity meter or test light. Give the key switch a good workout with a continuity meter attached. Check that key switch isn't contacting the fuel tank intermittently, depending on what switch you have. |

Re: Frustration
Check to see if the Distributor is grounding to the engine. Put a jumper between the dist. body anda ground. Sometimes rust will form between the too and you get a poor ground. My thoughts.

Re: Frustration
Does the coil get warm to the touch after the car is otherwise cold? Mine did that, and it turned out to be a defective pop out switch.

Re: Frustration
I don't have a pop out switch anymore. This one is made by Nu-Rex. I'll try these ideas when I get at it again.
