NW Central Ohio
...Remember, those points have current through them constantly when you have the ignition on. So if you have a habit of leaving the key on at times...you'll burn the points. To see if they're working, you leave the key on, and see if there is spark when you push them open with a screwdriver. JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING AN INSULATED SCREWDRIVER!!! or you might not like it! If you have no spark...get a new set of points and condenser. Also, pour a little lacquer thinner in the distributor cap...let it soak for a minute, and then dump it out. Look for cracks that don't dry immediately, that will tell you if there is a distributor cap problem. Good luck!!!
