Fuses are all good. Yes, it is very weird.Weird. It's like it's cutting power to the coil only when cranking. Wiring?
It was almost certainly the non points gap that was the problem, so if everything is back exactly the same it should be fine. No popped fuses?
Carson you think the old points just burned up and you misdiagnosed that at first?
Only thing I know about points is how to take them off and toss them.
Although the contactor looked old and cooked, I think the gap must have gradually changed until it finally closed and couldn’t deliver consistent spark. I’ve read that they need to be regapped periodically, which is why most people replace them to avoid another PITA mechanical part to maintain. I knew nothing about points two days ago. Now I’m kind of a fan of the simplicity.Carson you think the old points just burned up and you misdiagnosed that at first?

For sure! The points open later the more they wear, retarding the timing.also seems to have way more power than before
