YOU READ THESE EXCERPTS IN THAT POST
I MADE A PIC SHOWING MY ISSUE, SORTA EXPLAINED USING A CONTINUITY TEST
ME
WE SAW WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER (SOME 20 YEARS BEFORE) HAD ABANDONED IT IN A FIELD BEHIND HIS HOUSE
THE BOLT AND NUT THAT HOLDS THE TWO STRAPS OF THE POINTS (SILVER AND BRASS) ONTO THE DISTRIBUTOR MUST HAVE GOTTEN LOST, AND HE REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER ONE
I REPLACED IT THE SAME WAY TOO!
IT WAS TOO LONG AND WAS BARELY TOUCHING THE INSIDE OF THE DISTRIBUTOR OUTER HOUSING
CONSTANT GROUND!
I GROUND THE BOLT OFF, RE-INSTALLED IT, STUCK MR. DISTRIBUTOR CAP ON
FIRED OFF ON THE FIRST REVOLUTION!
EIGHT HOURS OF THAT "KNOT IN MY STOMACH"/ FIXED IN TWO MINUTES!
THIS MAY NOT BE YOUR PROBLEM, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS TOUCHING GROUND SOME HOW IN THERE
ME
NO CONTINUITY IS "JUICE AIN'T MAKING THE LOOP" (WHEN POINTS ARE OPEN) (WHICH IS GOOD!)
CONSTANT CONTINUITY WHILE OPEN OR CLOSED (IS NOT GOOD!) LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM, IT MIGHT BE THAT THE "CORK LOOKING" PAPER UNDER A PART IS GONE OR NO LONGER ISOLATING THE PART FROM THE PLATE OR BODY
HIM
Thank you for telling me about the piece of paper under the points that was the problem. I cut out a gasket out of a bicycle tube and made little rubber washers for the bolts it works good now getting power to plugs thank you again
ME
RADIO SHACK MAY HAVE THE CORRECT KINDA GASKET PAPER
NEXT TIME YOU SEE A SHELLED OUT OLD RADIO OR TV, BUST INTO 'EM AND YOU MIGHT FIND THE CORRECT MATERIAL IN IT
DID YOU LOOK FOR THINGS LIKE THAT IN YOURS?
