[Fot] Ignition Coil ??

[Bill Tobin]

Hi Bob, are you using the correct ohm coil? My notes say that with 
points and resistor a 1.5 ohm coil should be used.

I use a Pertronix Flame Thrower. $40 or so from Jegs or others.

Also with points, make sure the condenser is good. A faulty condenser 
will cause your symptoms too. Ask me how I know this!

Cheers, Bill
