seem to be a common prob.with (spark) usuall that is caused by wrong condenser installed mant consenser look just alike but the are wound diff inside they come in diff micrfared values to work correct they must match the coil electricly very old dealer manuals for proper condenser # of original the cross ref todays equivlant with correct condenser the spark should jump 3/4 of an inch with eng idiling pull a plug wire off insert screwdriver hold close to eng how far will jump1/4 or less not good if close to 3/4 inch very good whi changed mine it went from 1/8 in to 3/4 inch big diff.worth looking into

I took out Pertronix I install 100 miles ago in my 1972 2.0 Pinto and put points back in because the car was back firing, tac jumping up and down, I'm just done with that after market crap. Car runs awesome again on points, Now I'm trying to get them to just refund me for it, Hassle. I'm making a youtube on the whole ordeal. ?? I ran my pinto around the block a few times with the 40,000 volt Flamethrower coil part# 40511 that came with the pertronix as a kit USING THE POINTS and it seems peppy, But I'm hearing on some google sites that it's not good to run a hot coil like that with points. because it will burn your points faster. I'm putting the Stock Pinto coil I have from the 70s back in because of what I'm reading about the hot coil no no. ANY BODY WANT TO CHIME IN ON HOT WITH POINTS???

No one owns a cheap set of feeler gauges in this day and age ? all the auto part stores carry them under $5, stop messing around and set your points accurately (business cards and matchbook covers are ‘side of the road, makeshift methods at best !).

Cant't see it, where was that wire specificly hooked up at that you were arking to make the sparkplug fire? I couldent tell without altrady knowing how to do the test. Please don't assume people know anything. Because sometimes a specific procedure is completly new to them. No one knows everything, and no one always will know all the basics, thats why they struggle to understand what you are attempting to communicate. That coil test is very simple to do. But if you don't know what wires are going to a specific location and you dont know the procedure. How can you go pottie ?

It is beyond me why someone parks a vehicle, especially outside, and leaves it for any extended period of time without at least running the engine occasionally or driving it. If you can't fix it or maintain it, sell it.
