Ignition point gap?

Yeah, sorry I missed that too.... Had to re-read it a few times before I saw it....

Yeah, I missed that too. .025 is probably what they were set at but the spark was anemic with the original point/condensor setup. I widened them to .034 even before I installed the Pertronix.

When I put the pulled plug into the boot and grounded it, the .034 threw a much better spark. I did not re-test it after I installed the Pertronix. I just figured if it threw a better spark before, it had to be good with the Pertonix. The proof was in the pudding when I fired it up after install. It never started so quick.

I was told ten thousands. If you dont have a gauge use a thin dime. If you dont have a thin dime use a nickel and 5 pennies.

If I remember correctly, one thin dime used to get you a long way! Hey buddy.....
