Check that the points are ok and also replace the condenser, also make sure that the coil is not wired back to front.

Mhpautos,

Would this vehicle use a ballast resistor or a resistance wire?

Is it possible it has been eliminated (unintentionally), over the years in this vehicle?

Good thought CJ, Morris's normally did not run a ballast, but that's not to say that it should run one, if the owner can check if the coil is a ballast coil that would also help.

Make sure you let the big guys know that I am sometimes capable of a "Hum-Dinger". And I want a bigger office too! Lol!
