My 460 was running rough, with no power so I hooked up a spark meter to it. The spark was low and jumped arround. So I started replacing ignition parts. So far I replaced the points, plugs, condencer, cap, rotor, and coil. Nothing has helped. I checked the resistance of the ballast(got 2.2 ohm), and resistance of the coil wire (about 4000 ohm, they are resistance wires). I don't seem to get a very good spark even if I open and close the points by hand. I'm running out of things to replace and I'm afraid that I may have to take it to a (gulp) professional. Anything else I should look at before I take this drastic step? Thanks in advance. Lloyd
