Jerry/MT said: (quoted from post at 13:48:40 07/27/08) Are the points set correctly? I beleive it 0.015" for a front mount and 0.025 " for a side mount.Do you have a front mount distributor or a side mount? Is the timing correct? If you have a front mount there is a spring under the cap that needs to be stretched to have the correct contact. ALso make sure that the insulator that carries the primary circuit through the points is not cracked and the copper strip is not broken.
Most of the Ford N experts reside at the N Forum so you might get a quicker and better answer there.
Thanks Jerry... The points may be grounding out like you say ! the Dist is a side mount. When I say she won't fire I pulled a plug out putting it near a clean part of the frame and still no spark. I had adjusted the point to .015 still nothing. Do you think if I chance the points it will help. Since it's a positive ground.. I need to make sure there are installed correctly??? To my knowledge the so called Mech did not touch the timing.
So?? Tell me more about the points>> I have a feeling its them.. Tx van
