Well took the car out for a short ride all went well, really need to go further, but the car ran much better.
I believe the new wire with the end screw that came loose was the problem, replaced it with another I had in the shed, but I did check the clearance of the rotor, actually I tried 4 different rotors, (one that wouldn't even fit over the dizzy shaft).
For those who have the original points and condenser I will say that that set up is very reliable and I have those as spares, but when I did the restoration I was looking to upgrade as much of the mechanicals as possible, alternator, Toyota 5 speed, gear reduction starter, new harness, etc.
But sometimes when a problem shows it's ugly head, I guess we all get a little frustrated, and my use of this list helps me vent in a way and I get feedback from people that have had the same issues and are always willing to help.
I appreciate all the comments and suggestions from all you folks.
My plan is to google the Crane ignition and see about a spare module, or the new model which I like the sound of so I don't burn it up.
Thanks again
