Have a super c with 6 volt positive ground. The problem is when the wire from the switch is hooked to the negative side of the coil and the wire to the positive side of the coil is hooked to the distributor, it creates a dead short and draws the battery down to less than 1 volt. With this happening, it is impossible for the starter to work due to the low voltage. The wiring is done like the wiring diagram that is posted by Robert M for 6 volt positive ground system. Have put new points in, condensor, and installed a new coil. This still does not correct the problem. Eliminated the on/off switch and took a wire directly from the positive side of the battery to the coil and wire from negative side of the coil to the distributor(now negative ground) and it still goes to dead short (less than 1 volt). Reversed wires at coil and still no difference. Note: The voltage drop occurs when points are closed. When points are on high lobe of cam, the voltage is normal (6 volts). OHM meter lead put on bolt going into distributor and other lead put on stationary point bracket inside distributor shows a complete circuit when points are closed and circuit breaks when points are open (like it should). Pulled points and condensor out and held negative wire from coil to the plate inside the distributor and also have a dead short with a voltage reading of less than 1 on the battery by using a voltmeter. Any HELP would be greatly appreciated. THANKS !
