    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Points/condenser replaced..now no spark

I figured it out!!

Following everyone's help I began to see a constant issue. That the 2&3 points had to be insulated COMPLETELY for them to work. I went back and reviewed my order of changing the points from the beginning and remembered that the original points had a different insulating washer setup.

There was a very small insulating tube that went around the screw that was then followed by an insulating washer on the original points. The new set of points had a single insulating washer with a dimple in the middle. I guess the dimple was to take the place of the small tube and when I looked at the newer washer, it looked as if it had been compromised/squashed. I pulled the small tube and washer from the original points, put them in and MAGIC!! I got spark on the 2&3 coil!!

Thanks to everyone for their help and support. This site is awesome!! Now I will set the timing tomorrow and try cranking her up...
