Whats on your To Do list today?

Those points are nearly new and have almost no wear.  But theyre off the distributor and hanging wide open.  They should be sprung tightly shut until the distributor cam lobe momentarily breaks their contact.  No close = no break = no spark.  Sadly this is a genuine Lucas part.  It should be the very best.  



I think i may also have a bad plug or failing wire in the mix but this got in the way of sorting that.

Not making and breaking? Is them points from the Kent?

Yeah.  Ford kent engine.  Pertronix flamethrower distributor body that i swapped back to breaker points because the $130ish dollars ignitors keep failing no matter how i set them up.


The distributors are based off the lucas 25D/45D and i used a lucas DSB108C breaker plate.  Lotus, cortina, MG, et al.  I hate this thing but its one of my most important tools by far.  Becoming a bad marriage. High maintenance, low output, but a divorce would really sting.
